A CT scan, or computed tomography, takes multiple x-rays in rapid succession, then analyzes these images to create an image. CT is used for many types of diagnoses because it shows internal organs and bones in great detail.

During the procedure, you will lie on a table and hold very still. Because each CT procedure varies, you may also be expected to drink oral contrast and/or be injected with an intravenous contrast. Please consult your physician or our staff if you have any questions regarding what to expect during your procedure.

A CT scan could take between ten minutes and one hour depending on the type of scan.

Enhanced Medical Imaging offers CT at our Coos Bay, Kenosha and Long Beach centers.
