No. You just lay on the table and the scanner will pass over you. You must be claustrophobic??

You'll be fine. Only takes a few minutes. The machine makes an electrical sound and a mechanical clunking but that's just natural. Nothing to worry about.

I've had a few of them a about three years ago and nothing at all to worry about. Some take longer than others and can be noisy but they give you headphones to listen to music in some of them to relax you

You just need to stay relaxed, it's very important to keep still as it will affect the quality of the images if you don't. If you are claustrophobic or very anxious ask the doc for something to relax you -but don't forget that may affect your fitness to drive.

A ct it looks like a big polo mint...

It's not at all claustrophobic like a mri...

You just need to lie still and they may put like a strap on your head its not tight or uncomfortable or just use pillow blocks to make sure you don't move your head from side to side...

It makes a noise but sometimes you can bring earphones and listen to some music...

Best of luck and hope it's all good..

It's not.

A ct is like a big polo mint that goes over your head it only takes detailed images of your brain and skull..

A mri is a tunnel and can be quiet claustrophobic and sometimes they offer relaxers as it can take some time,a mri scans your entire body from the neck down...it again takes detailed images of your body but using magnet technology.

"CT scans are not only performed on the head."

That's what it's usually used as when it's being a routine ct. In emergency medicine it can be used for the entire body yes but I doubt greatly the op has had a catastrophic accident and needs one do you.

OK time to annoy now lol had either a ct or mri. They were looking at my brain but didn't put me in a polo it was a long tube thing. Which one was it? Cause I could of swear they said mri but from what you said sounds a bit like a ct scan.

Depends on what they were looking for or suspected.

The long tube thing is a mri.

It can also look at your brain but it gives detailed readings of your fluids in your brain,that connect to your spine.

If they were looking for brain damage it must have been because of a accident, a bleed or a illness in that case yes they would have had to look at your entire body.

I'm glad things worked out for you

"Has anyone had one and wat was it like "

Mary, it's the male half here.

I've had seven CT. Five mri.

The nerves will disappear after you lie down and let it happen on your first one.

The lead up, I won't lie is anxious. That said, just remember that when you are lying down, it's over before you know it.

Best of luck and you'll be fine.

I've had quite a few of both ct and mri scans. This description is the best for ct - a huge polo mint - and it's not claustrophobic at all

Good luck OP!

I had a CT scan last year and it was for my abdomen. It was a tube, but there was plenty of room and I didn't feel claustrophobic as I was only pushed in up to my neck. They gave me an IV of an iodine solution to help with resolution. There was an instant metal taste in my mouth and an amazing fuzzy feeling in my crotch but others than that it was over in less than a minute

Reading through responses here.

It was a fairly simple question about a procedure that scares the shit out of a lot of people.

Why go into such horrid detail and scare the OP even more?

It was a question based on what the operational procedures are.

Not what was wrong with you, why you needed it, and also nothing to do with the scary things you encountered.

It's A simple procedure. It's over quickly but the nerves are there.

Simple. Necessary evil for some people. It's gotta be done...... it's just scary the first time.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Scaremongering the OP with horror stories is not on.
