Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed tomography scanners are radiographic devices used to create cross-sectional images of the subject to aid in medical diagnosis and treatment. In simple terms it's like having the capability of imaging a slice of bread instead of looking at the whole loaf at once.

The computer is used to measure and calculate the attenuation coefficients of the x-ray beam as it passes through the target. Some exams require special preparation depending on the area of the body we are scanning. Your physician will tell you what you must do before your procedure.
