What is a CT Scan and How Does it Help in Cancer Detection?
A [CT scan]() (Computed Tomography) combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to create a detailed cross-sectional view of the body. This imaging technique is highly effective in detecting the size, shape, and location of tumors. CT scans can identify cancers in various organs such as the lungs, liver, and pancreas. They are also used to guide biopsies and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
