Before Surgery

Before undergoing a chest CT scan, patients are evaluated to ensure safety. Doctors review medical history, allergies, kidney function, and pregnancy status. If contrast dye is required, blood tests are performed. Avoid eating for a few hours before the scan, and remove metal objects like jewelry.

Day of Surgery

The patient lies on a motorized table that moves through the CT scanner. Contrast dye is administered intravenously if needed. The scanner captures detailed images of the chest within seconds. Patients hold their breath briefly. Painless and completed in 5 to 15 minutes.
