How do I prepare for this exam?
You will be scheduled to arrive shortly before your scan so that you will have time to prepare for the study. Pre-medications may be required if you have contrast allergies, a history of drug or food allergies or a history of prior reaction to X-ray dyes.
Will it hurt?
No. There is no pain. CT scanning is a simple, safe method to see inside your body.
How long will it take?
The exam will take between 15 and 30 minutes from the time you lie on the CT table.
When may I eat?
As soon as the exam is over.
How will I learn the results?
Your physician will discuss the results with you.
