X-ray computed tomography, also computed tomography (CT scan) or computed axial tomography (CAT scan), is a medical imaging procedure that utilizes computer-processed X-rays to produce tomographic images or 'slices' of specific areas of the body. These cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical disciplines. The medical device (the machine) is called a “CTG SCANNER”, it is a large machine and uses x-rays.medical imagingX-raystomographic images

CT produces a volume of data that can be manipulated, through a process known as "windowing", in order to demonstrate various bodily structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam. Although historically the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane, perpendicular to the long axis of the body, modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric (3D) representations of structures. Although most common in medicine, CT is also used in other fields, such as nondestructive materials testing. Another example is archaeological uses such as imaging the contents of sarcophagi.nondestructive materials testing

1. A CT scanner emits a series of narrow beams through the human body as it moves through an arc, unlike an X-ray machine which sends just one radiation beam. The final picture is far more detailed than an X-ray one. 2. Inside the CT scanner there is an X-ray detector which can see hundreds of different levels of density. It can see tissues inside a solid organ. This data is transmitted to a computer, which builds up a 3-D cross-sectional picture of the part of the body and displays it on the screen. 3. The accuracy and speed of CT scans may be improved with the application of spiral CT. The X-ray beam takes a spiral path during the scanning - it gathers continuous data with no gaps between images

 A CT scan is a computerised tomography scan. It uses X- rays and a computer to create detailed images of the inside of your body.  The CT scanner consists of an X-ray tube that rotates around your body. You will usually be moved continuously through this rotating beam. The rays will be analysed by a detector on the opposite side of your body.X-ray  The images produced by a CT scan are called tomograms and are more detailed than standard X-rays. A CT scan can produce images of structures inside the body including the internal organs, blood vessels, bones and tumours.  The scan is painless and will usually take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the part of your body being scanned.

A CT scan uses X-rays. An MRI does not use X-rays; it uses magnets and radio waves.

 CT scans can be used to diagnose and monitor a variety of different health conditions including brain tumours, certain bone conditons and injuries to internal organs such as the kidneys, liver or spleen.brain tumours  They are also often used to look inside the body before another procedure takes place, such as radiotherapy treatment or a biopsy (where a small tissue sample is taken so that it can be examined under a microscope).radiotherapybiopsy

 CT scans are usually carried out on an outpatient basis, which means that you will be able to go home on the same day as the procedure.  The results of your scan will not be available immediately. A computer will need to process the information from your scan, which will then be analysed by a radiologist (a specialist in interpreting images of the body).  After analysing the images, the radiologist will write a report and send it to your specialist or GP. This usually takes a few weeks.

 CT scans are safe procedures and, in most cases, the benefits of having a scan outweigh any potential risks.  A CT scan does expose you to radiation. The amount is small and will not cause you any harm. However, CT scans are not recommended for pregnant women because there is a small risk that the X-rays that are used could harm the unborn baby.radiation  Children are also more at risk than adults are from developing a build-up of radiation. Therefore, a CT scan will only be recommended if a child has a serious condition that puts them at greater risk.

There are several advantages that CT has over traditional 2D medical radiography. First, CT completely eliminates the superimposition of images of structures outside the area of interest. Second, because of the inherent high-contrast resolution of CT, differences between tissues that differ in physical density by less than 1% can be distinguished. Finally, data from a single CT imaging procedure consisting of either multiple contiguous or one helical scan can be viewed as images in the axial, coronal, or sagittal planes, depending on the diagnostic task. This is referred to as multiplanar reformatted imaging. medical radiography CT is regarded as a moderate- to high-radiation diagnostic technique. The improved resolution of CT has permitted the development of new investigations which is very much advantageous.radiation
