CT scan
This term is a common shorthand for computed tomography scan. In clinical settings, it is frequently used interchangeably with the term CAT scan, though CT is the more contemporary medical standard. It carries a neutral, technical connotation and is used across all registers, from formal medical reports to casual conversations between patients and doctors.
Because it refers to a specific medical procedure, it is treated as a standard countable noun. It is typically paired with verbs such as order, perform, undergo, or schedule.
