Computed Tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique that combines conventional x-ray imaging with computer technology to produce images of the body. To prepare for a CT scan, you may be asked to refrain from eating or drinking starting six hours before the procedure. If necessary, you may take medications with a small amount of water. CT scans generally take 30-45 minutes. The scan will take longer if multiple images are generated or a detailed study is needed.
