CT screening

**CT screening**

CT screening refers to the use of computed tomography (CT) scans as a preventive diagnostic tool to detect diseases or conditions at an early stage. It involves creating detailed cross-sectional images of the body, allowing healthcare providers to identify abnormalities such as tumors, lung nodules, or cardiovascular issues before symptoms appear. Commonly used CT screening applications include lung cancer screening for high-risk individuals and coronary artery disease evaluation. This non-invasive imaging technique plays a crucial role in early detection, improving treatment outcomes and patient prognosis.
