Preparing for a CT Scan

Has your physician recommended that you have a CT scan? If so, you may be unsure about what to expect. This video explains how you can prepare for a CT scan.

It is important to let your physician know if you have any conditions which may affect your eligibility for undergoing a CT scan. Pregnancy, claustrophobia, and allergies to contrast dye may all make you ineligible for getting a CT scan, so let your doctor know about any of these conditions before your appointment at the imaging center. Watch this full video clip to learn more steps that you should take before a CT scan.
