Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) uses X-rays taken from different angles around the body and computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside your body, providing more detailed information than plain X-rays do.
