THE CT SCAN JOURNEY
A Guide to the Process
Experience the streamlined process of a CT/CAT Scan at our facility in Friendswood, Texas, where you’ll recline on a narrow table gliding through the scanner.
While scanning typically lasts just a few minutes, the total exam duration varies depending on the specific study. Please feel free to inquire about the expected duration from your doctor or our attentive staff.
Throughout most CT exams, you’ll be provided with a gown to ensure your clothing doesn’t obstruct the X-rays. As the exam commences, the table will smoothly transition to the scanning position within the donut-shaped gantry surrounding you, housing the X-ray tube. Despite minimal noise production, you may notice a faint mechanical hum emanating from the rotating X-ray tube.
During the scanning process, maintaining stillness is crucial, and you may be asked to hold your breath as directed by the technician overseeing your examination. Ensure optimal imaging quality by following their instructions attentively.
