A CT scanner uses radiation to produce a three-dimensional image of the insides of the human body. X-rays are fired through the body, and scanners pick up the path of the rays, leading to a detailed image of the body. It can be used to detect and diagnose epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, cancers, heart disease and medical issue.
Is it weird that I’m more familiar with the bottom scanner than with the top? We take these things apart almost on a monthly basis. Pretty fun since they kind of look like mini- particle colliders.
