What is a computerized tomography exam?
Computerized tomography is a diagnostic X-ray procedure that combines older X-ray technology with the new computer technology modern medicine has grown to rely on. This procedure produces a series of cross-sectional images of a selected part of your body or head. These images are then interpreted by a radiologist specializing in medical diagnosis by X-ray. These images can be manipulated by the CT technologist to enhance areas of the picture that require closer examination.
