It's really impossible for us to know but we can give pretty good simulations. You see Science is techniccaly limited to what humans can observe. Seeing that the only way to observe the milky way is to travel 1,000,000 light years away is impossible you can't scientifically prove how many arms we have. How ever by calculating the distance, and right ascension of millions of stars we can get a good guess. Most pictures will agree that the Milky Way has something to the effect of 5 arms. It seems like much more because each arme loops around 3-4 times.

What is a Spiral CT Screening?

A spiral CT is a new technology, it refers to the way the xrays are emitted. The tube that produces the xrays is paralell with a receiver on the opposite side of the opening in the CT machine. To take the image, the tube and receiver are circling as it is doing this the bed is moving into the opening. This combination creates a spiral movement around your body. This new technology allows for a quicker scan and reduced radiation dose while not sacrificing the image quality.
