The procedure is safe and convenient:
• Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required if contrast dye is used.
• Remove metal objects such as jewelry before the scan.
• Inform the doctor about allergies, pregnancy, or kidney problems.
• Carry previous scan reports for better comparison and evaluation.
Reports are typically available within the specified turnaround time for timely medical consultation.
During a CT scan, the patient lies on a motorized table that slowly moves through a circular scanning machine. The scanner takes multiple X-ray images from different angles, which are then processed by a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. The procedure is quick and painless, and in some cases, a contrast dye may be given to enhance image clarity.
A CT scan is prescribed when detailed internal images are needed to diagnose conditions that cannot be clearly seen on a regular X-ray or ultrasound. Doctors recommend it to detect injuries after accidents, evaluate severe headaches or stroke symptoms, identify tumors or infections, investigate chest or abdominal pain, assess internal bleeding, and monitor treatment progress in various medical conditions.
• A CT scan is quick, painless, and usually completed within 10–30 minutes.
• You must remain still during the scan for clear images.
• Contrast dye may be used in some cases to improve image detail.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or allergic to contrast dye.
• CT scans involve a small amount of radiation, but they are generally considered safe when medically necessary.
