🔄 CT Scan: 3D X-Ray! 🔄

Taking hundreds of X-rays to build a 3D model of your body!

ðŸ“ļ Many X-Rays from All Angles!

CT stands for "Computed Tomography." It's like a super-advanced X-ray machine!

Instead of one picture, the machine spins around you taking hundreds of X-rays from every angle!

A computer then puts all these pictures together like a puzzle to create a 3D model!

1. Gantry Ring: A big donut-shaped machine spins around you

2. X-Ray Tube: Sends X-rays from many angles

3. Detectors: Capture the X-rays that pass through

4. Computer: Reconstructs 3D images from all the slices!
