FAQ's
CT Scans at Edloe Imaging
What is a CT scan, and how does it work?
A CT scan is an advanced imaging test that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed 3D images of the body’s internal structures. It helps doctors detect injuries, tumors, infections, and other conditions with high accuracy.
How long does a CT scan take?
Most CT scans take 5-10 minutes. If contrast dye is needed, the process may take slightly longer.
What’s the difference between a CT scan and an MRI?
A CT scan uses X-rays to take quick, high-resolution images of bones and organs.
An MRI uses magnetic fields to capture more detailed images of soft tissues, such as the brain and joints.
How much radiation is in a CT scan?
Can I have a CT scan if I’m pregnant?
If you are pregnant or may be pregnant, let us know before your scan. In most cases, we recommend ultrasound or MRI as safer alternatives.
What if I have kidney disease or allergies to contrast dye?
If you have kidney disease, diabetes, or contrast dye allergies, let us know. We perform on-site creatinine testing to check kidney function before administering contrast.
How long does it take to get CT scan results?
Our radiologists review your scan within 24-48 hours, and we send the results to your doctor as soon as possible.
