An X-Ray is a type of radiation. The equipment used by the X-Ray technician can pick up images of dense objects that will appear white on the X-Ray film. X-Ray is mostly used to assess and diagnose bone degeneration, disease, dislocations, fractures, infections and/or tumors.
While CT Scans create more detailed images of the inside of the patient's body than X-Ray. It take 360- degree photographs of internal human's organs.

What is the difference between a body cat scan and a general cat scan?
They are just as they say. An abdominal cat scan is just of that area and a pelvic cat scan is just of that area. Usually if an abdominal cat scan is ordered a pelvis is included so as to cover all things in both areas but if a pelvic cat scan is ordered it usually does not include the abdomen.

What IS the difference between cat and pet scan?
The difference is in the type of radiation used to form the image. A Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan can use any type of radiation to create the image, the specific type is not specified in the name, but most often uses X-rays; but a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan specifically uses positrons as the radiation form. A third type, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the miniscule magnetic fields of naturally occurring compounds within the human body to create its images.

What is the dental code for cat scan?
When we order a cat scan for dental purposes, its usually for some suspicion of bone pathology or an implant ; since the patient has to go to a hospital or clinic we bill under the medical codes for payment....If you are doing a Icat radiograhph or cone beam type xray, then i would contact my manufacturer of my xray machine to get the code to bill under. Remember most insurance plans have a limited dental coverage per year , for example 1500 dollars and some cone beam or CAT scans cost up to 1000 dollars and that would apply to your maximum allowable paid out per year. Also if the cat scan is taken by a facility then it should be read by a radiologist who also submits a bill for his services. If you dont have a radiologist read the xray and the dentist misses some pathology, for example a cyst or cancer, then the Dentist is legally liable in court......
What's the difference between CT scan Why does CT require a prep but a CAT scan doesn't?
A CT scan and a CAT scan refer to the same imaging technique; "CAT" stands for "Computed Axial Tomography." The difference in preparation often arises from the specific area being scanned or the type of contrast material used. For certain CT scans, especially those involving the abdomen or pelvis, patients may need to fast or undergo specific prep to enhance image clarity, whereas other scans might not require such preparations. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions for the specific scan you are undergoing.
