CAT scan used to be short for Computerized Axial Tomography. Think of this as using computers to map the body in the axial plane. (axial is a direction that the image is processed in).

What is the difference between a ct scan and a spiral ct scan?
No difference. CT machines used to take a single 'slice' at a time. Now they take a 'spiral' image whilst the patient moves through them and the 'slices' are created afterwards by the machine's software. When the multi-slice CT machines came along, people started referring to them as 'spiral CT' to differentiate from the older machines. All CTs these days are 'spiral'.
