What to Expect

  1. 01

    Before your scan

    You may need to arrive up to an hour early and might be given a contrast dye injection or a drink to make certain structures show up more clearly.

  2. 02

    During the scan

    You lie on a moving bed that slides through the short CT tunnel. The scan itself is very brief, often under a minute.
