CT CT or Computed Tomography is a way of looking at the inside of your body. A detector system records the attenuation or amount of X-rays passing through your body and sends the information to a computer where a cross section image is reconstructed on a television screen. CT scans of the body and head can be used to diagnose a wide variety of medical conditions which affect organs and structures in the body. Needle localizations are performed prior to surgical breast biopsy to locate areas to be biopsied which have been detected by mammography but cannot be felt. Breast core biopsies are a lower cost alternative to surgical biopsy in many cases and are done on an outpatient basis.
Digital technology allows for a very quick procedure time.
