As part of the diagnostic process you may be expected to undergo additional tests to determine if cancer has spread beyond the prostate. This may include a CT scan.

CT scan, also called CAT scan, stands for Computerized Axial Tomography. It is a form of computerized X-ray that allows doctors to view your internal organs. A machine revolves around you generating a series of images that are then translated by a computer. These images look like cross-sections of your body.
