• Helps diagnose and quickly detect injuries such as bone fractures, tumors, inflammation, effusion, and emergency cases due to accidents. 
• It is the leading solution to detect stroke when patients are brought to the emergency room early, helping to have accurate treatment regimens and improve the prognosis for patients.
• Whole body angiography and assessment , for early detection of vascular occlusion, aortic aneurysm, and cerebral vascular disease.
• In oncology, CT is used to screen for cancer, detect tumors, and guide treatment plans and procedures, such as biopsies, surgery, and radiation therapy.
• Compare CT scan results to find out if certain treatments are effective.
