About CT Scan

CT is fast, widely available, and the imaging test of choice for many acute conditions — trauma, chest pain, abdominal pain, stone disease — as well as for cancer staging and surgical planning. UMIH operates multi-slice CT scanners that acquire images in seconds and can perform CT angiography (CTA) to visualize arteries throughout the body without invasive catheterization.

When CT scan is used

  • Trauma evaluation (head, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvis)
  • Suspected pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection
  • Kidney stones and acute abdominal pain
  • Lung cancer screening and cancer staging
  • CT angiography of coronary, brain, or peripheral arteries

Preparation: Fasting for 4 hours before contrast studies. Patients receiving IV contrast need recent kidney-function labs (creatinine / eGFR). Metformin users should follow their referring provider’s instructions.

Typical duration: The scan itself lasts 5–10 minutes; total appointment time is usually 30 minutes.

Radiation: Uses low-dose ionizing radiation.

Frequently asked questions about CT Scan

How much radiation is in a CT scan?

Radiation dose varies by exam. UMIH follows ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) protocols and iterative reconstruction to minimize dose while preserving image quality.

Do I need contrast for my CT?

Whether contrast is used depends on the clinical question. Your referring provider or UMIH radiologist determines the protocol.

How long does a CT scan take?

The scan itself is usually under 10 minutes. Plan on 30 minutes total, longer if IV contrast or oral prep is required.
