Computed Tomography (CT Scan)

What is a CT Scan?
CT scan stands for Computed Tomography. It is derived from the Greek words – tomos meaning “slice”, and graphein meaning “write”. It was formerly referred to as computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. CT scan is an X-ray procedure that combines many X-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views and 3-D images of the internal organs and structures of the body. The first commercial CT scanner was invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield in United Kingdom in 1971.
