A computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.
During the test, you will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine.
The CT scanner sends X-ray pulses through the body.

thankfully i don't have my Father's clogged arteries
