Imaging Tests

Computerized tomography (CT) instructions

A CT scan uses x-rays to make detailed pictures of the structures inside your body. During the test, you’ll lie on a table that’s attached to a donut-shaped machine, called a CT scanner. You may get contrast dye injected into a vein or in a drink that you swallow. This helps to show parts of your body more clearly.
