About CT Scan
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is faster than an MRI and particularly useful for examining bones, blood vessels, and internal organs in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
What to Expect
You will lie on a table that passes through a doughnut-shaped machine. The scan itself takes 10–30 minutes. You may need to drink or be injected with contrast dye. The procedure is painless.
