CAT or CT scanning can be any of a number of different scan technologies, as CAT stands for Computed Axial Tomography and says nothing about the beams used. In common use, however, CT and CAT scans typically use X-rays, and those that use more exotic techniques are named by the technique they use (PET and NMR scans, for instance).

What design do they use in building to stand up in earthquakes?
They use more of a flexible walls and beams instead of strong flat beams, so that in an earthquake they can sway, not fall.
What paint do you use to paint lvl beams?
The laminated beams ( LVL) need to be painted to stop them delaminating.Marine grade wood sealer if it's weather exposed.
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 full form of CT scan?
CT is computed tomography and CAT scan is computed axial tomography.
What is dual energy ct scan?
A dual energy computed tomography (DECT) scan is a computerized X-Ray with two X-Ray beams (instead of one beam standardly used in regular CT scans). This tool can be used to produce 3-D images that use color coding to differentiate between different materials in the body. Each of the two beams is set to a different "energy" (like a wave frequency). The idea is that different materials in the body (such as calcium, uric acid, soft tissue, etc) all absorb radiation to varying degrees at the two frequencies. Thus, depending on the degree of radiation absorbed by a particular tissue, the scanner can identify what the tissue is comprised of. The computer can then code different tissues with different colors, so that it is easy to see what a region is comprised of at a glance.
What dentists and doctors use to get an inside look?
CAT scan or an X ray
How do cat scans use electromagnets?
CAT Scan does not use electromagnets, its MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which uses Electromagnets to produce images of the patient's body.
Since medicine uses the CAT scan as a diagnostic tool why don't they use a DOG scan?
Because dogs can not lie still enough to get a clear picture.
What kind of plant that cat can eat?
I use to work in a field of CAT NIP and learned that they use it in cat food, toy's for cat's ect... cat's love it.
What kind of microscopes use beams of electrons to produce magnified images?
These microscopes are called electron microscopes.
What kind of microscope use beams of electrons to produce magnified images?
These microscopes are called electron microscopes.
Do you use Low beams or high beams in rain?
lowIn the rain, it's best to use your:Low beams
Should you use your low beams or high beams when driving in fog?
You should use low beams when driving in fog. It is more difficult to see driving with high beams in fog.
If you use barium for a cat scan will your stool be white?
Yes, it will be white for couple of days until all barium is not out of your body
How do you use would?

How would one use an apostrophe to spell the cars beams?
If it is one car - you would use "The car's beams" - If it is more than one car, you would use "The cars beams"
When can you use your high beams?
You can use your high beams when it is dark and no one is approaching you and you aren't following anyone.
