Computer Assisted Tomography is a diagnostic test that enables the spinal canal to be imaged and assessed for specific conditions. The scan works by shooting an x-ray beam at 160 points throughout the body and crystals opposite the beam pick up and record the absorption rates of the varying thicknesses of tissue and bone.Koshys Hospital Provide the Best Computer Assisted Tomography.
