Computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan – A painless
procedure in which x rays are passed through the knee at different
angles, detected by a scanner, and analyzed by a computer.
This produces a series of clear cross-sectional images
(slices) of the knee tissues on a computer screen. CAT scan
images show soft tissues such as ligaments or muscles
more clearly than conventional x rays. The computer can
combine individual images to give a three-dimensional
view of the knee.
