Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CT scans involve the use of software to process the X-ray images taken from multiple angles around the body, using an array of detectors, to create cross-sectional (slice) images. These slices can be compiled to form a 3D image of the area being examined, providing more detailed information than the 2D images produced by standard X-ray imaging.
