Solution

B.

CT scanning

Computed Tomography (CT) is a non- invasive medical examination or procedure that uses specialised X-ray equipment to produce cross- sectional images of the body. X- rays is used in diagnosis because all substances and tissues differ in their ability to absorb X-rays. Some substances are more permeable to X-rays, while some others impermeable. Thus, different tissues seem different when the X-ray film is developed.
