CAT which stands for computerized axial tomography consists of primarily being used for detecting blockages in the body, specifically in the chest cavity, abdominal region, circulatory system, and rarely the skeletal system. These types of tissues are considered a thicker tissue and harder structures which only CAT scans can produce an accurate image compared to MRI. The practice includes a person drinking concoctions of iodine, barium, or receiving intravenous contrast dyes, then lying inside of a CAT machine and waiting for the scanner to process the cross sectioned images taken through x-ray bursts. Each of the concoctions or dyes stand out in because of the use of radiation to produce an image which differs greatly from an MRI which utilizes magnetic
