What is a CT scan?
CT stands for computed tomography. It uses X-rays to produce a cross-sectional, or ‘slice’ image of the inside of your body.
Having a CT scan - it safe?
The amount of radiation used varies. It's more than an ordinary X-ray and is the same as the natural radiation we all get over a period of about three years, which adds slightly to the risk of getting cancer. However, please bear in mind that the risk is very small and the risk of missing a serious problem if you don’t have a CT scan is much higher.
What happens during a CT scan?
- A small team of radiography staff will look after you during your visit and one of the radiographers will carry out the scan
- For some types of CT scans you'll be asked to drink a special contrast drink around one hour before your examination
- You may need to have an injection, depending on the area that needs to be scanned
- During the scan you may need to hold your breath or not swallow
- The radiographer operating the scanner will be able to see and hear you throughout the procedure
