About CT Scans
A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, uses computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.
CT scans are used to diagnose muscle and bone disorders, such as tumors and fractures, locate blood clots and infections, guide procedures like surgery and radiation therapy, detect and monitor diseases like cancer, and detect internal injuries and internal bleeding.
Different types of CT scans include head CT scans, chest CT scans, abdominal and pelvic CT scans, spine CT scans, and CT angiography.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CT scan?
A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed images of the inside of your body. The scan produces cross-sectional images that show bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues in greater detail than standard X-rays.
How long does a CT scan take?
The actual CT scan typically takes only 5 to 10 minutes. However, you should plan to be at the facility for about 1-2 hours, which includes preparation time and possibly waiting for the radiologist to check the images to make sure they're clear.
Is a CT scan safe?
CT scans use radiation, but the benefit of an accurate diagnosis generally outweighs the risks. The amount of radiation you're exposed to during a CT scan is minimal. However, if you're pregnant or think you might be, tell your doctor before having a CT scan.
