CT Imaging FAQs
A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed images of the inside of your body, providing more information than standard X-rays.
Contrast is used to enhance the visibility of certain tissues or blood vessels. Your doctor will decide if a contrast agent is necessary based on the specific details of what needs to be examined.
CT scans are faster and can provide detailed images of bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. MRIs are better at depicting details in soft tissue and are used in assessing conditions involving the brain, spine, and joints.
Most CT scans take only a few minutes, though the entire process may last about 30 minutes. Results are typically available within a few days but can vary based on the complexity of the scan and the analysis required.
Generally, no special steps are required after a non-contrast CT scan. If you received a contrast agent, you might be advised to drink plenty of fluids to help flush it out of your system. Your doctor will provide any specific instructions if necessary.
