CT
scans are used to study many parts of the body, including the chest, belly and
pelvis, extremities (arms and legs), and internal organs, such as pancreas,
liver, gall bladder, and kidneys. CT scans of the head and brain may detect an
abnormal mass or growth, stroke damage, area of bleeding, or blood vessel
abnormality. Patients complaining of pain may have a CT scan to determine the
source of the pain. Sometimes a CT scan will be used to further investigate an
abnormality found on a regular X-ray.
