  1. When You Need CT Scan and What Is The Cost Of This Test CT Scan stands for A Computed Tomography Scan. In this test, X-Rays are used to get detailed pictures of various body parts as well as get a clear picture of the structure of your body. When You Need This Test? Often people get confused about when they should visit a CT scan center to get the test done. Well, there are ranges of diseases that can be diagnosed and treated by the physicians on the basis of the CT Scan test reports. Hence, there can be many conditions in which your doctor may send you to your nearest CT scan center for the test. Doctors ask the patients to go for this test to have a clear vision of various parts of their body such as brain, chest, and abdomen. In some cases, the doctors may suggest you to go through this test to evaluate the success of a certain treatment procedure or surgery. When it comes to diagnosing some critical and unexplained situation in the body, then CT can help the doctors to understand the real issue. Are There Any Risks? According to some experts, the biggest potential risk in CT scan is the use of the contrast injection during the scanning. However, it is not used all the time for all the patients. In general, this contrast injection helps to differentiate the normal tissues with the abnormal ones. Just like any other medicine, this injection can cause some serious allergic reaction to the body of any patient. In case, the patient may have such risks; then the test should be done under hospital setting so that proper pretest and post-test medical care can be provided to that person to avoid any serious condition. How To Get Prepared For This Test? No matter whether you are going for CT Scan Abdomen or CT Scan brain, you need to know how to be prepared for the same. Before the scan of the abdomen, the patient should consume a liquid oral contrast agent which contains barium in a diluted form. The radiologist can then easily identify the gastrointestinal tract which contains the stomach, large and small bowel. What Happen During The Procedure? In most of the cases, CT Scan is conducted as an outpatient service. That means in general cases; the patient does not need to get admitted in the hospital and can go back to home after the test is done. However, unlike MRI, patients cannot experience claustrophobia during CT scan because the scanner is open and it looks like a doughnut. The patient lies on a table and
