CT
Cross-sectional X-rays
CT most commonly stands for computed tomography, the medical imaging technique that produces cross-sectional images of the body: The doctor ordered a CT scan.
CT is also the postal abbreviation for Connecticut.
In time zones, CT means Central Time. (Lowercase ct abbreviates carat or count.)
