Explanation
Computed tomography, commonly known as a CT scan, uses a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around the body. A computer processes these images to create cross-sectional slices of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. While sound waves are used in ultrasounds and magnetic resonance is used in MRI scans, CT scans specifically rely on X-ray technology to visualize internal structures.
