CT scans primarily use X-rays to create images of the body. The key element involved in the imaging process is the ionizing radiation emitted by the X-ray tube, which passes through the body and is detected by sensors to produce cross-sectional images. Additionally, contrast agents containing elements like iodine or barium may be used to enhance the visibility of specific structures or fluids within the body.
