It's a CT scan used in medical professions. Basically a 3D X-ray.
Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing. Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.
Tracers can be located inside the human body using imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). These techniques detect the signals emitted by tracers as they move through the body, allowing for visualization of their distribution and accumulation in different tissues or organs.
A CAT or CT scan is shorthand for "Computed Axial Tomography". Breaking that down:tomography - a process of developing a cross sectional x-ray view of a "slice" of the bodyaxial - the pictures are taken down the long axis (length) of the bodycomputed - the information for each slice is interpreted by computer to develop each slice and the images of the slices can be manipulated (stacked etc.) for different views
The objective of the Computed Tomography (CT) Scan (CST) is to produce detailed images of the internal structures of the body. Its features include non-invasive imaging, high resolution, and the ability to provide cross-sectional views of organs and tissues.
C.T is a common abbreviation for "Computed Tomography," a medical imaging technique used to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. CT scans are valuable in diagnosing a wide range of health conditions, such as injuries, infections, and tumors.
It is useful in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer because it provides information that cannot be obtained by other techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Computed tomography
X-ray computed tomography was created in 1972.

It means they didn't find anything unusual during the CT scan (Computed Tomography) after the Myelogram dye injection.
Computed tomography is also known as computerized axial tomography or CAT scan
'Computer-Assisted Tomography' These days it tends to be called CT which stands for 'Computed Tomography'

Computed tomography is a branch of radiography in which a 3-D images of a body structure is constructed by a computer. The images are recorded on a special electronic image recording plate.
