When CT Helps

Common Reasons Doctors Request a CT Scan

Head Injury or Stroke Symptoms

CT may be requested for head trauma, sudden neurological symptoms, severe headaches, suspected bleeding, or urgent brain assessment.

Chest and Lung Evaluation

Chest CT can help doctors assess infection, masses, lung disease, trauma, and other findings that may not be clear on a standard X-ray.

Abdominal and Pelvic Pain

Abdomen and pelvis CT supports evaluation of appendicitis, kidney stones, bowel conditions, injuries, infections, and unexplained pain.

Bone, Joint and Trauma Imaging

CT creates detailed cross-sectional bone images for complex fractures, spine concerns, joint assessment, and surgical planning.

Cancer Staging and Follow-Up

Doctors may use CT to locate disease, assess spread, monitor treatment response, or compare changes across follow-up scans.

Blood Vessel Assessment

CT angiography may be recommended where doctors need a clearer view of blood vessels, narrowing, blockage, or vascular abnormality.

Preparation for Your CT Scan

1

Inform us of allergies - particularly iodine/contrast dye. Tell us about any medications you are taking.

2

Fast for 2-4 hours if a contrast-enhanced scan has been requested.

3

Wear loose clothing and remove all metal jewellery and accessories before the scan.

4

Bring your referral letter or any previous imaging studies and reports to help the radiologist.

5

Tell the team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant so the safest imaging pathway can be confirmed before the scan.

CT Scan FAQs

CT uses low doses of X-ray radiation and is considered very safe. Modern scanners use optimised dose protocols. Our radiographers use the lowest dose needed for a clear image.

Not all CT scans require contrast. Your doctor's referral will specify whether contrast is needed. Some patients with kidney issues may not be able to receive contrast.

The scanning itself takes only a few minutes. Including preparation and positioning, plan for about 30 minutes total.

Reports are typically ready within 24 hours. Emergency reads are available the same day.
