During the procedure

Depending on the body part being examined, we may ask you to remove some of your clothes. The procedure requires a contrast solution to be administered by an IV. Once the IV has been inserted, you will be slid into the ring of the CT scanner on the examination table. This tunnel is 70 cm in diameter and 50 cm deep and is where the images are taken. We may ask you to hold your breath for a CT scan of your lungs or abdomen.

The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes.
