A CAT scan involves the patient lying on a metal bed and being passed into either a tube or a disc that surrounds the patient, where multiple X-Rays are fired and captured by a rotating sensor, to form a multi slice image of the area being examined, showing various levels of depth.

Where would one go to have a CAT scan performed?
CAT (Computerised Axial Tomography) scans are performed in medical hospitals and clinics. A physician can refer a patient for a scan at an NHS hospital and this will be carried out at no cost. However if a patient is anxious to have a CAT scan done more quickly, or if his doctor will not refer him, the procedure can be carried out privately either at a private clinic or out of normal working hours at the NHS hospital. A private scan will cost in the region of £300 to £750 dependant upon the parts of the body being scanned.
If you have a clear CAT scan how can you be in coma?
Something in a CAT scan might explain a coma, but it is not a definitive test. Just because a computer "looks normal" that is no indication that it will run. This is a crude analogy. The CAT scan images tissues. It does not evaluate how those tissues are operating - or not. Though there are a few "clues" to what is going on in a CAT scan, the scan is not the "litmus test" for actual brain operation and function. A CAT scan may be performed as part of the workup to find out why someone is in a coma. It will allow the physicians to determine if there is a "physical" cause or not. If nothing shows up, the cause of the coma must be investigated further. A coma can be a difficult thing to find a cause for.
