What is a CT Scan?

A CT scan is a non-invasive medical imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels. Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans provide cross-sectional views of the body, allowing doctors to see inside the body from multiple angles. This technology is particularly valuable for detecting tumors, fractures, infections, and other abnormalities that may not be visible on regular X-rays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most CT scans are completed within 10-30 minutes, depending on the area being scanned and whether contrast material is needed. The actual scanning time is usually just a few minutes, with the rest of the time spent on preparation and positioning.

Preparation depends on the type of scan. For abdominal scans, you may need to fast for 4-6 hours. For scans with contrast, you'll need to avoid eating for 2-4 hours before. We'll provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment.

CT scans use a small amount of radiation, but the benefits usually outweigh the risks. Our modern equipment uses low-dose protocols to minimize radiation exposure. We take special precautions for pregnant women and children.

Contrast material is a special dye that helps highlight certain areas of the body for better visualization. It's often used for scans of the abdomen, chest, and blood vessels. Your doctor will determine if you need it based on your specific condition.

For most CT scans, you can eat and drink normally. However, for abdominal scans or scans with contrast, you may need to avoid eating for several hours before the procedure. Clear liquids are usually allowed. We'll provide specific instructions based on your scan type.

Our radiologists typically review and interpret CT scans within 24-48 hours. Urgent cases are prioritized and may be read sooner. Results are sent directly to your referring physician, who will discuss them with you during your follow-up appointment.
