CT scanning, also known as CAT scanning, is a technique that uses a very thin X-ray beam that is rotated around the patient while the amount of X-ray passing through the patient is recorded and a very high resolution picture of a section of the body can be constructed.

CT scanning is used to diagnose lung disease, problems with brain such as stroke, liver disease, kidney disease and most tumors.

CT scanning is very good at imaging bone but is quite poor with muscle and the soft tissues of the body.
