Computed tomography (CT) involves a rotating x-ray tube, combined with a digital computer to obtain detailed, cross sectional images of the body. CT scans provide better clarity and reveal more information than regular x-ray exams. CT imaging has the unique ability to differentiate types of tissue such as body organs, soft tissue, bone, muscle, and blood vessels which aid in defining pathological processes. The thorough images acquired by CT provide essential information for the radiologist to interpret and conclude an appropriate diagnosis.
