What is a cat scan doctor called?
A doctor who specializes in interpreting CAT scans, also known as CT scans, is called a radiologist. Radiologists are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat diseases using imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, and X-rays. They analyze the images produced by the scans to provide insights for patient diagnosis and treatment.
Is a cat scan safe?
Yeah, a cat scan is pretty much safe. I say 'pretty much' because the ionizing rays cat scans apply can cause DNA which can lead to cancer. Same as X-rays. However, this is very rare, and your doctor would only give you a cat scan/X-ray if he thought you really needed one. What I'm saying here is that, for all practical purposes, cat scans are safe.
What kind of beams does a CAT scan use?
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).
