A CT (computed tomography) scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional views of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It is faster than MRI and frequently used for chest, abdomen, and trauma evaluation. The scan itself takes only a few minutes.
Mammogram
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breast used to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Screening mammograms are recommended annually for women starting at age 40. The procedure compresses the breast between two plates and takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
