Appointment is necessary and can be made by calling the clinic where the service is available. |
|
Please bring along all of your previous x-ray and CT films for comparison. |
|
Patient should fast for about four hours if intravenous contrast injection is required. Contrast injection is a medication that enhances and better defines blood vessels and accentuates the appearance between normal and abnormal tissue in organs. |
|
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. |
|
Please inform our staff if you have any history of allergies. |
|
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. |
|
Please be punctual for your appointment. |
