The CAT scan is computerized axial tomography. The words "axialized" and "tomographic" might be substituted in. A link can be found below. Oh, and we're moving away from that term now. It's just called a CT scan by many currently, and that's short for computerized tomography, as you probably guessed. A "Computerized Axial Tomographic" scan is a type of X-ray scan that is utilised for diagnostic purposes in a variety of health issues.
CAT scan used to be short for Computerized Axial Tomography. Think of this as using computers to map the body in the axial plane. (axial is a direction that the image is processed in). The newer machines not only do axial but also multiple other imaging planes (coronal,sagital,biplane,multi plane,etc.) So now they dropped the "axial" and just call it CT scan short for Computerized Tomography.
CT scanning or CAT scanning (Computerised Axial Tomography) is used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. It may also refer to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanning
CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
I do not think CAT stands for anything, I just think it stands for a normal kitten.

if this helps , I'm not sure it will but ct stands for computed tomography Computerized Axial Tomography

Computed Axial Tomography
CAT scan - Computed Axial Tomography. Usually called "CT scan" now, as the images can be axial, sagittal or coronal/frontal.
Computerized axial tomography (CAT) is a radiologic imaging modality that uses computer processing to generate an image of the tissue density in a "slice" as thin as 1 to 10 mm in thickness through the patient's body.
