Computed tomography (CT), also called Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT) scanning, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses x-rays to obtain cross-sectional images of the body. Since its introduction and rapid adoption into medicine in the mid-1970s, CT has become recognized as a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy.
