Preparation For CT Scans

Detailed preparation instructions will be provided in advance of your scan. Some examples of what they could be include: · Providing blood test results to verify your kidney function (if a contrast dye is required). · Avoiding consuming food or drink for a few hours before your scan. · Wearing comfortable clothing with no metal underwires, buttons or fastenings. You might be asked to change into a medical gown. · Not taking certain medications before your scan, or taking them earlier or later than you usually would.

The Procedure

CT stands for computerised tomography. During your CT scan, you'll be asked to lie on a flat bed, which is moved into the doughnut-shaped scanner. X-rays then circle around your body and are recorded by detectors on the opposite side of the scanner. The amount of X-rays blocked by different tissues is used to create images. You might be given a contrast injection before or during your scan, which highlights certain parts of your body more clearly in the images. Due to the radiation used for this scan, your radiographer will leave the room while the procedure is underway, but you can speak to them via an intercom system. You'll need to lie very still, and might be asked to hold your breath for short periods of time.

How Long Does It Take?

CT scans are incredibly fast, with imaging itself often taking as little as one minute. However, if contrast material is required via injection to enhance the images, the appointment can last longer. Most single-part CT scan appointments are around 30 minutes.
