Accepted Answer

A CT scan (or computed tomography scan) uses X-rays and advanced computer technology to create detailed images of the body. It provides a series of cross-sectional slices that can provide information about internal organs, bones, and other tissues. MRI and ultrasound also provide images of the body but do not provide the same cross-sectional views as a CT scan. Sonography is another term for ultrasound.
