CAT Scan (CT) 

CT Scans are non-invasive X-Ray tests that produce cross-sectional images of the body. 

CT provides a highly-detailed look at many different parts (slices) of the body and is frequently used to evaluate the brain, neck, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and sinuses.  People often have CT scans to further look at an abnormality seen on another test such as an X-Ray or an Ultrasound, or to check for specific symptoms such as pain or dizziness. People with cancer may have a CT to look for the spread of disease.
