Ct Scan Uses

CT (computed tomography) scan is an imaging test that produces detailed images of the body's internal structures using X-ray technology. It helps detect the size, location, and extent of the tumor in many benign and malignant tumors. It can also be used in guiding procedures like biopsy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It also helps detect and monitor medical conditions such as cancer, liver masses, and heart diseases.
