LABORATORY SECTION
The CT scan is a high-tech mechanism that can be used to examine the blood vessels, bones, and soft tissues in different parts of the human anatomy.
CT scan is a comprehensive imaging process but quick and non-invasive. It uses the X-Ray mechanism to create images of the body parts. The machine has a table attached to it(for the patient to lie down). The horizontal table then goes into the center of the CT machine to produce images.
The X-ray tool in the CT machine will circulate around the body part that is to be examined and take several pictures in slices. The machine will exhibit a clicking and whirring sound throughout the procedure. The table might move front and back to get a complete image of the body part.
It is very important not to change positions or move your body, remaining still throughout the procedure is a must. Sometimes, you may be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds to erect a comprehensive picture.
A radiologist will be observing the whole test procedure from the nearby chamber with the help of a mic and speakers.
It usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete a CT scan.
