Computed tomography, also called CT scan or CAT scan, is a diagnostic tool that provides views of the internal structures of the body using small amounts of radiation. CT scans are capable of imaging bone as well as soft tissue structures
Pregnant women or those who could be pregnant should not have CT scans, particularly full body or abdominal scans. In some cases it is decided by your physician that the benefit outweighs the risk. Please notify your physician and/or your technologist if you think you may be pregnant.
Generally there is no preparation for most CT exams. Eat, drink and take medications as usual unless otherwise instructed. If there are any special instructions related to your exam (i.e. fasting or withholding certain medications)your physician’s staff or our facility will notify you.
