The CT scan, or cat scan, was developed to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body, allowing for better diagnosis and assessment of various medical conditions. Introduced in the 1970s, it combines X-ray technology with computer processing to create clearer, more precise images than traditional X-rays. This advancement has significantly enhanced the ability to detect tumors, internal injuries, and other abnormalities, ultimately improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
