Frequently Asked Questions
Is There a Difference Between CAT scan and CT scan?
Two Terms, Same Meaning: CT scan and CAT scan are abbreviated terms that mean the same.
What Is a CT Scan & How Does It Work?
These images are captured as the machine rotates around your body. Since CT scans show much more detail than X-rays, this is a non-invasive way for your doctor to view what’s happening.
How Do I Know If My CT Scan Requires Contrast?
A special dye called contrast may be needed to highlight the areas of your body being scanned. Contrast is used to make structures and organs easier to see on the CT images. It may also be used to check blood flow, find tumors, and look for other problems. You may be asked to drink the contrast or receive it through an injection prior to your exam.
Can I Eat or Drink Prior to My CT Scan?
Different types of exams require different prep. Please call our office or click here to see a list of CT exams and their instructions.
What Can I Expect During a CT Scan?
The exam is safe, painless, and very quick, with the actual scan time lasting just a few seconds.
What Can a CT Scan Detect?
CT scans produce high-resolution images of bones, blood vessels and soft tissue and can help detect subtle abnormalities that may not be apparent on regular X-rays.
Do I need to Prepare for a CT Scan?
What to Wear
Please dress in comfortable clothing. Leave all jewelry and valuables at home.
Medications
Please take all the medications that have been prescribed to you by your doctor. Let our staff know what medications you have taken prior to your exam.
Food and Drink
Different types of exams require different prep. Please call our office or click here to see a list of CT exams and their specific instructions.
How Long Does a CT Scan Take?
The CT scan is usually completed in 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the exam.
Are There Any Side Affects from a CT Scan?
There are possible side effects during a CT Scan:
- Exposure to Radiation: CT scans use X-rays to create images, which involve a small amount of ionizing radiation. While the radiation dose in a single CT scan is relatively low and usually considered safe, repeated or unnecessary CT scans should be avoided, especially for pregnant women and children, who are more sensitive to radiation.
- Allergic Reactions: Some patients may have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye used in certain CT scans, such as a CT angiography.
Can I have a CT scan if I am Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Please inform your doctor and technologist so they can discuss this with you.
