What happens during CT Scan
The CT scanner is a large donut-shaped machine that takes x-rays at different angles around the body.
A CT technologist will explain the procedure to the patient and have the patient lie down on a narrow table.

Abdominal CT Scan
Abdominal CT scans are used to visualize needle placement during biopsies of abdominal organs and tumors or during fluid aspiration from the abdomen.
CT is used to monitor tumors and other conditions of the abdomen before and after treatment, and to detect, diagnose and treat vascular disorders that may lead to stroke, gangrene or kidney failure.
