What is a CT scan?
"A computerized axial tomography scan is an x-ray procedure that combines many x-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views and, if needed, three-dimensional images of the internal organs and structures of the body. Computerized axial tomography is more commonly known by its abbreviated names, CT scan or CAT scan. A CT scan is used to define normal and abnormal structures in the body and/or assist in procedures by helping to accurately guide the placement of instruments or treatments..."http://www.medicinenet.com/cat_scan/article.htm Thomas has to go for another CT scan. Pain management is getting too tough. Too many bangs on the old noggin. CT scans are OK, at least they are not as invasive as a colonoscopy.
