Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

A CT scan is a painless method of taking a series of special pictures of your body. You will be asked to lie on a special table and the radiographer will position you for the examination. You may have to receive an intravenous contrast solution during the examination.

Length of Procedure
The procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Special Notes
For exams being done as an outpatient, please arrive in registration 20 minutes prior to the appointment time. Most exams will not require you to wear a gown. Bring any outside x-ray films pertinent to your exam. If your exam requires bloodwork, please come in the day before your exam to have it done, if possible.
