Answer 3

Una tomografía computada (computed tomography, CT), también conocida como tomografía axial computada (computed axial tomography, CAT), utiliza rayos X y una computadora para producir una imagen de los órganos y estructuras internos (por ejemplo, músculos, huesos) dentro del cuerpo. Un Técnico Radiólogo especialmente capacitado realiza las CT. Durante una CT, el Técnico Radiólogo toma imágenes desde diferentes ángulos para mostrar una sección transversal de los tejidos y los órganos del cuerpo. La CT proporciona imágenes nítidas y detalladas que ayudan a su médico en el diagnóstico de una amplia variedad de enfermedades.
