CT Scan – Why Is It Done?

CT (Computed Tomography) Scan uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

It is commonly done to:

  • Detect injuries, infections, and internal bleeding
  • Identify tumors and other abnormalities
  • Examine the brain, chest, abdomen, and bones
  • Help doctors diagnose conditions and plan treatment

A CT scan provides detailed images quickly, helping doctors make an accurate diagnosis.
