Cross-sectional imaging is displaying the insides of a human body in thin sections to be examined, sections by sections. This is so far one of the best ways for medical professionals to detect lesion lurking inside our bodies. CT scan accomplishes such task by emitting fan-shaped radiation which interacts with the human bodies at different segments of the body, and the exiting radiation is detected by sensitive detectors which will later reconstruct these electrical signals into meaningful images by complex mathematical algorithms.

Nowadays the capability of a CT scanner is determined largely by the number of its detectors. Our CT scan has 128 rows of detector which translate to very fast scanning ability (high temporal resolution). CT scan can scan the body in as low as 4mm slice thickness providing valuable information regarding very tiny structures. Due to its fast scanning speed, it is also suitable to fast-moving objects such as the human heart. Actual scanning speed of even the entire body is usually within minutes, making it the most versatile imaging tools for critical moments e.g. during acute trauma scenarios.
