What Is a CT Scan?
A CT scan, short for computed tomography scan, uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of your body. Unlike a regular X-ray, which gives a single flat image, a CT scan takes many images from different angles and combines them into clear, layered pictures of bones, organs and tissues.
A CT scan is different from an MRI, too. An MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, while a CT scan uses X-rays. CT scans are usually faster, which makes them useful in urgent situations.
Doctors commonly recommend a CT scan to check for injuries after an accident, investigate chest infections, look for kidney stones, or support the staging and monitoring of certain cancers. Your doctor will explain why a CT scan is right for your specific symptoms and what it may help detect.

A CT scan uses a small, controlled dose of radiation. We follow low-dose protocols to keep exposure as low as reasonably possible while still producing clear images.

How soon will I get my CT scan report?
