Computed Tomography

Preparation
Please bring along all of your previous x-ray and CT films for comparison.

Appointment is necessary and can be made by calling the location where the service is available.

As the developing embryo is much more sensitive to x-radiation exposure, patients must inform the radiographer or physician, prior to any x-ray examination if there is any possibility of pregnancy.

No special preparation is required if no intravenous contrast is given. No intravenous contrast will be given if a plain CT or cardiac scoring is requested.

If intravenous contrast is necessary as part of the examination, patient is to fast for a minimum of 4 hours prior to examination.
