Yes.
Newer name for the same thing:
- CT is 'computed tomography'
- CAT was 'computed axial tomography'
Both use a narrow x-ray beam rotated about the axis of the object being scanned (thus the word "axial" in the original name), a powerful computer is then used to reduce the information collected to produce a special photo called a "tomograph". No difference at all other than the name was shortened.
