CAT Scan

A CAT scan or computerized axial tomography is a technique of examining a mass of the body. It allows an individual to see the 3D images of the mass. A CAT scan helps in diagnosing various parts of the body and allows us to see if there are any cranial bleeds or tumor. CAT scan gives more information than regular X-rays which are 2D.The CAT scan procedure tends to be completely painless, however a person needs to lie still for a certain period of time. The patient may have to fast for up to four to six hours depending on the area to be scanned
