A CAT scan is a type of medical imaging that helps doctors diagnose conditions. It can also give them information about the size and shape of organs, tumours, and other abnormalities in your body. A cat scan uses X-rays to make pictures of your organs, such as the heart, lungs or kidneys. The machine used for a cat scan is called an X-ray machine or CT (computed tomography) scanner. It has two parts: one part produces X-rays and another part records them on film or by computer so doctors who don’t need to be there during the test itself can study later them.
