Overview

The computed tomography scan or CAT scan, is an x-ray test that makes detailed cross-sectional images. A CT scan can provide information about the size, shape, and position of a tumor, and can be helpful to see if the cancer has spread to other organs. It can also help find enlarged lymph nodes that might have cancer cells.
