Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scanning is an imaging technique that utilizes a computer to produce detailed three-dimensional images of the human body from a collation of cross-sectional X-rays taken along an axis. Of all the imaging techniques that are currently available, the CAT scan is best able to produce images of different types of tissue, such as bone, soft tissues, and blood vessels.
