A CT scan is a test that uses x-rays and a computer to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. It takes pictures from different angles. The computer puts them together to make a 3 dimensional (3D) image. CT (or CAT) stands for computerised (axial) tomography.

I had my ct scan yesterday! It a beautiful moments and praise God my system is working very well en there r no issues with me. Thank u lord 🙏🙏🙏
I had my final CT scan a couple of weeks ago to check that my kidney cancer hasn't returned since I had surgery in early 2014. I will never forget the warm feeling of the contrast going through my body for a long time :-)

I am looking forward to my CT scan in 2 weeks - it will give my radiographer and consultant the information for the next stage of my cancer treatment - and I know they will describe and explain it to me in detail. Thank you so much for all the information you have shared - it is very reassuring to feel connected to future progress with hope!
I have persistent pain in the head for along time the doctor told me we have to do CT scan but I'm scared i haven't approved yet . I'm a refugee in Indonesia my friend advised me don't go for CT scan in Indonesia doctor isn't advanced I've alot stress.
Hi
@@Williamschrisfort wishing you luck
Good luck❤
Hey did you beat cancer?
I wish good health to everyone 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤
CT scans are about the easiest thing I have done.. Lay there, hold your breath for 7 or so seconds. Nothing too it... My first scan found a tumor in right kidney.. But after it was removed CT scan found nothing bad. :)
I’m having this done next week
Having one tomorrow. Thanks helpful
Hi

Could you address ionized radiation and its long-term effect on patients?
It causes cancer
Please consult with your doctor, there is no catch-all method. If you haven't been excessively exposed to X-rays (which is why doctors usually hide from them), they have been proven to have no long term health effects in healthy individuals however
You can get report within couple of hours
Thx , byk info dapat
i had mine a couple days ago, had to have an IV and relive childhood trauma loll
Getting one in about an hour and a half. Not a big fan of the IV contrast tbh. I’m scared of IV’s. The thought of a needle staying in me for that long is freaky.
I feel you! I hate needles, how was it?? Are you okay now? :)
I have a funny pain in my right leg 🦵do you think 🤔 this will be helpful to check what’s in my bone ?
From what I hear it shows everything
Hi
I am scared about the contrast .
u be fine is safe I had like 6
They did not inject me before scan
I have a question regarding when a CT scan is performed. Is it necessary for the gantry to rotate around the body to get the images required. or can your body be scanned by just having the body be moved back and forth into the machine while holding your breath .Also is there a light that comes on.
Its necessary for the gantry to rotate around the body inorder to take a 3D image.
@@smur949 Thank you so much. I appreciate you. I got the answer required.
Does your full body go into the machine
Ct scan ke time aakh bnd krte hai kya??
Nice explain
If the scan takes just a few minutes, why does the whole process take about 90 minutes?
Hi there, thanks for your comment. As explained in the video with the different steps this is why the process can take 90 minutes to complete 😊

Hi Hashim, our nurses are available to talk and answer your questions about cancer. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) 😊
Please reply what she told you 😢
For that CT Scan its around 8 mSv, which in the grand scheme of things is very low risk. The point where it usually becomes uncertain is when people have multiple full-body scans over the course of a year. This is because of the much higher radiation dose + repeat exposures. In other words don't worry about your scan dosage, you'll be fine. 👍
Also glad the scan came back clear, thats great news.

I'd guess no longer then 10 seconds each scan. Its really the easiest thing you will ever do in your life.. Just lie there like a rock.
Hi
Please reply I’m having a full body PET/CT scan tomorrow. If my results are ok what the chance of me having health problems or cancer in the future please
