CAT Scan (Video)

Article Translations: (Spanish)

CAT stands for "computerized axial tomography." Translated, that means a scanner takes computer pictures of what's going on inside your body. The scan itself is painless. All you'll need to do is hold still for a few minutes at a time so the pictures come out clear.
