    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computerized tomography (CT) scans offer high sensitivity but limited specificity, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. Careful interpretation with clinical data is crucial to avoid errors in diagnosing conditions like infarcts and hemorrhages.
