    CT Patient Information

    Your doctor has requested a CT scan. Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions.

    What is a CT scan?
    CT stands for computed tomography. This technique uses X-rays to make cross-sectional images of the body. A CT image is typically thought of as a slice of the body and allows the radiologist to look inside the body. CT scans may image any part of the body.
    What happens during a CT scan?

    The machine is often described as looking like a “donut” with a bed sliding through a circular hole.

    You will be asked to lie down on the CT bed. The bed will move during the scan and you may be asked to follow breathing instructions.

    If iodinated contrast is required and injected, most people will get a strange metallic taste in the mouth and feel a warm sensation through the body. This warm sensation can feel like you have wet yourself, even though you have not. Do not feel concerned if this happens, it is a common sensation and usually goes away within a few of minutes.

    Once the radiographer has checked the images to ensure the appropriate areas have been shown, they will come into the room to help you off the bed.

    It is important to try not to move during the scan as it will affect the quality of the pictures.

    Are there special instructions to be followed before a CT scan?

    Preparation for your procedure will depend on the body region being examined. Preparation for your procedure will depend on the body region being examined.

    • Please read any instructions given to you by Xplore Radiology.

    These instructions are very important as they may affect the accuracy of the test or require that the test be rebooked if you are not properly prepared for the CT scan.

    How long does a CT scan take?

    The time taken to complete a CT scan will vary, depending on the examination that has been requested by your referring doctor. CT scans that do not require an injection and are usually quite quick and may be completed within 5 minutes.

    If you CT scan requires you to drink contrast for the scan, you will need to arrive up to 1 hour before the examination. You will be advised at the time of booking.
