How to Prepare for a CT Scan?

Preparation for a CT scan typically involves several steps to ensure accurate and safe imaging. Before the scan, you should inform your doctor about any recent illnesses, medical conditions, allergies, and medications you are taking. It is also important to notify your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect you might be. In many cases, you will be instructed to refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours before the scan.

What Should I Expect during an X-Ray?

During the X-ray procedure, patients may be asked to sit, stand, or lie on a table, depending on the body part being examined and the type of test. The procedure is painless, and results are typically available quickly. The specific duration of an X-ray procedure may vary according to the body parts or area examined and the complexity of the condition. However, generally, the scan only takes a few minutes.
