During the test the patient lies on the table while the CT scanner, a large circular machine sends X-rays through the area of the body being studied. To allow the image to be clear, an iodine dye is used sometimes to produce an image with more contrast and detail.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">A computed tomography scan is mainly used for the chest, belly, pelvis, or the arms and legs.
