Aren’t CT scans mainly for the Head / Brain?
Originally, CT scans were developed to detect abnormalities in the brain. Technology has become so advanced, that modern CT scanners can help detect other major symptoms and conditions (like heart problems, lung problems, spinal problems, injuries, cancer, kidney failure, etc) and now are so fast that they can scan through large sections of the body in just a few seconds. Such speed is beneficial for all patients but especially children, the elderly and critically ill.
