CT scans can be used for a wide range of issues. Doctors use it to look at soft tissues, bones, details of organs, and practically anything. It is well suited for diagnosing diseases and evaluating injuries.
In certain cases, the doctor will ask for a Contrast added to the CT. A Contrast is a dye or an ink, that is given to the patient orally or via IV. This chemical dye provides further clarity and detailed look into the area.
