A CT scan, or Computed Tomography, uses X-rays and computers to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures.

CT scans are medical imaging procedures that use ionizing radiation to produce cross-sectional (slices) images inside specific body regions from various angles. Internal organs, blood vessels, soft tissues, and bones can all be seen in the photos.

Normally, a CT scan procedure lasts for about 15 minutes. Up to 1 hour and 15 minutes may pass during a CT scan using oral contrast. Do not consume any food or liquids 4 hours before your test if you receive IV contrast for a CT scan.

Compared to a CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging gives more transparent images. When medical experts need to observe soft tissues, an MRI is preferable to x-rays or CT scans. MRIs can generate images of organs and soft tissues like torn ligaments and herniated discs that are more accurate than CT images.

Yes, a CT scan is generally safe. However, it does involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which can be harmful in high doses.

 Before a CT scan, you may be asked to change into a gown and remove any metal objects. You should also inform your doctor if you have any allergies or medical conditions.
