CT (Computed Tomography) scans, sometimes called CAT scans, are non-invasive medical tests. CT scans combine a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and use computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside your body. This allows your technicians and providers to access more detailed information about what’s going on inside your body, offering more precise answers than an exam or even a plain X-ray.
There are many reasons why your doctor may need a CT scan to diagnose you accurately. CT scans can help to:
If a clear, detailed picture of what’s happening inside your body is necessary for your doctor to diagnose or monitor your health, a CT scan can help provide the answers.

Preparing for your scan depends on the specific type you'll be having. We might ask you to hold off on eating or drinking for a few hours beforehand, particularly if a contrast dye is part of your scan. It's a good idea to wear comfy clothes and leave any jewelry at home. Don't worry, the Smart Scan team will walk you through all the specific instructions when you book your appointment.
Most CT scans are quite quick, usually lasting between 10 and 30 minutes. The exact time will just depend on the area we're looking at and whether contrast dye is needed.
CT scans use a very low dose of radiation to help us see detailed images inside your body. The benefit of getting an accurate diagnosis almost always outweighs the small potential risk. If you have any concerns at all about radiation, or if you are or might be pregnant, please feel free to talk it over with your doctor and our technologists. We're here to answer your questions.
Most insurance plans do ask for a doctor's referral for a CT scan. If you're not sure what your plan requires, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Smart Scan. This is a common question, and we're always happy to help you figure out what you'll need for your visit.
We know that waiting for results can be stressful, so our team at Smart Scan works to get you answers as quickly as possible. A board-certified radiologist will carefully review your images, and we'll send the results directly to your doctor, often within 24 hours.
