COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY (CT)
Computerized Tomography (CT) is a specialized x-ray machine
which rotates around your body while taking images of your body.
The CT machine utilizes x-radiation to form images to allow the
radiologist to help diagnose various diseases and injuries. CT
examinations last typically 10-25
minutes. Your CT examination
may require an injection of iodinated
contrast media. This is
done through an IV established
by your technologist. If you have
a known iodine sensitivity, please
notify your technologist.
