CT; no, Scat Cat; no, CAT Scan

       I saw a CAT Scan today, also known as a CT Scan.  A cross sectional image of a part of the body taken by radiologists. 

       It started out with that intriguing way of saying it in 1975 when it was introduced and known as Computerized Axial Tomography; hence CAT Scan.  The later term meaning Computed Tomography may be the more common one now . . .

       But I'm glad the original still clings on because it's much more fun and memorable!  (I'm glad especially because there really was a reason for that "A" in the middle, not just a fill-in letter to make "CAT" as I had supposed.)
