A CT scan is a diagnostic procedure that provides detailed images of any part of the body. The images provided by this procedure are more thorough than those received from an x-ray.1 A CT scan of the abdomen can help diagnose disorders such as appendicitis, lymphoma, and abdominal aortic aneurysms.2
