Computerized Tomography By: Brianna Smith

Computerized Tomography(CT Scan)-A method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross- sectional scans along a single axis.  Hospitals  Clinics  Doctor’s offices

Why do we use CT Scans?  Higher resolution images= stronger diagnoses  Can provide more information about the disease  Shows if your are responding to treatment

How are CT scans used?  Patient lies on table  Go through the center  You can experience large whirling sounds  The contrast agent or dye is injected or swallowed before the CT scan ends
