How Does the Procedure Work?

The technologist will help the patient to position on an exam table. Sometimes a CT scan is used to plan for radiation therapy. The technologist may use a special device like a belt or a body cast to keep your body still during the scan.

The CT scan machine looks like a large donut. The exam table will slide back and forth through the large hole in the centre of the machine. The scanner rotates around you. At first, the table will move through the scanner quickly. 

CT scans are not painful. But you will need to lie still for the entire scan, which may become unpleasant. Since the scanner is shaped like a donut, you will not be enclosed in the scanner at any time. You will hear whirring or clicking sounds from the machine. 

During the scan, the technologist will be in a nearby control room. They will be able to see you through a window or a video camera. And, you will be able to talk with them through an intercom system.

The technologist may ask you to hold your breath during part of the scan. That is because the body's movement from breathing can blur the pictures. The technologist may also raise, lower, or tilt the exam table to create the correct angle for the x-rays. Ask them to tell you when the table will move.

When the scan is done, the technologist may ask you to stay on the exam table for a few minutes. During this time, a radiologist will look at the images to see if the technologist needs to take more.

As soon as the scanning is complete a specialised doctor/ Radiologist will evaluate the obtained images, interpret and make the report. 

After Care

Patients can go back to their normal activities, such as driving, right after CT scan. But in case of contrast CT, patients are advised to drink a lot of water so that dye will flush out of the patient's body.
