What is another word for computer assisted tomography?
Pronunciation: [kəmpjˈuːtəɹ ɐsˈɪstɪd təmˈɒɡɹəfi] (IPA) 
Computer assisted tomography (CAT) is a commonly used medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer algorithms to produce detailed images of internal body structures. However, the term "CAT" is often used interchangeably with "computed tomography" (CT), which refers to the same imaging technique. Other synonyms include "computerized axial tomography" (CAT), "digital imaging and communications in medicine" (DICOM), and "spiral computed tomography" (SCT). These terms all refer to the same basic imaging technology, which has revolutionized medical diagnosis and treatment by allowing doctors to see inside the body with unprecedented clarity and precision. Regardless of the terminology used, CT imaging remains a powerful tool in the modern medical arsenal.
