Explanation

CT images are pictures that doctors use to see inside a person's body without having to perform surgery. They are created by a special machine called a CT scanner, which takes many X-rays from different angles around the body. These X-rays are then put together by a computer to create detailed images of organs, bones, and other tissues. This helps doctors diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions.
