I've been told that I need to have a CT scan, but I'm not sure what it is. What does it involve?

A CT scan (also known as a CAT scan) is a type of medical imaging test used to create cross-sectional images of the body. It uses X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed pictures of your organs and tissues. The test is painless and noninvasive. It can help doctors diagnose certain medical conditions and monitor treatment progress.
