How do CT Scanners work?

A CT scan, or computed tomography, is a crucial medical imaging tool that provides detailed, high-resolution images of the body's internal structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans take multiple images from different angles, compiling them into precise 2D or 3D visuals of bones, organs, tissues, and blood vessels. This allows doctors to diagnose injuries, detect diseases, and plan treatments more effectively. The procedure is quick, painless, and has become much safer with modern advancements, significantly reducing radiation exposure. With evolving AI technology, CT scans are becoming even more powerful in medical diagnostics.
