Ct scan shows your bones, organs, and soft tissues more clearly than standard x-rays. Ct scans can show a tumor's shape, size, and location. They can even show the blood vessels that feed the tumor ? all without having to cut into the patient. It is good to see the cause of amy diseases and inexplicable weakness.

Hello lybrate-user. Just being weak doesn't require ct scan. If there are other symptoms also then give it then will be able to tell. The dock must have advised because of some reason.
