Just had my first ever CT scan today with oral and IV contrast and all I can say is if you’re feeling nervous about the procedure, don’t, even though I myself was nervous heheh. It’s such a quick test, literally finished mine in 5 minutes. It’s really the preparation that takes the longest.
If you ever get this, I hope nothing goes wrong nor is there anything bad found in the results. And if they do find something, I hope all goes well with whatever treatment you’re given.🙏👍
IKR LIKE FR I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR SEVEN HOURS WITHOUT EATING ANYTHING SINCE THEY TOLD ME NOT TO LIKE FR 😭
I had one a while back for the possibility of blood clots. Aside from the sudden warmth from the IV contrast, it was a pretty neat experience altogether considering it was my first time getting a scan
Bottoms up! Cheers
..llll mpppppppppppppppppppppppppppoooooo
Tomorrow is my CT scan appointment. I hope everything will go well.
Love the way they explained... 😘😘😘
Yes, MRI would be a useful follow-up to this.
I'm getting my first one soon for my left arm. Broke my arm back in December and had surgery on it dec 29th, recently there has been some swelling on my arm from inflammation. Hopefully this is nothing serious but I think it's an infection. No fever or chills either
nice & helpful.😊
Thank you guys you help alot with these animation
I have a question regarding when a CT scan is performed. Is it necessary for the gantry to rotate around the body to get the images required. or can your body be scanned by just having the body be moved back and forth into the machine while holding your breath .Also is there a light that comes on.
I feel like I’ve gotten a CT scan before, but I’m not sure. I’ve had so many tests done.
Really helpful for my revision :) thank you!

very nice... hav to add more procedures...
nice..this helps a lot..thanks :)
In the sound of a CAT scan is it based off of 369 the seconds that play together or play a part to unpressurize or pressurize DNA from round to square
Good Work😘
Thanks for making good video

@@itzdharnitha2011 at what age u had u r ct scan and what is u r present age
You don’t need to receive contrast dye if they just check your head only ?
It might be contrasted study too
Actually head scans are the least common to use contrast. It’ll be used for most abdomen and chest scans tho
Thank you
I had contrast dye through a injection and was very tired after the ct scan
It would have no effect on energy level. Must’ve been something else
For those worrying it’s really not even that bad it only takes like 2 minutes (at least for me)
In a CAT scan in pressure why do you not start off with One structure development to another do you understand if you're pulling the structures against each other and causing the actions that normally have to take place more than one time
I had many CT's,MRI's and X-rays and all I can say is in every one of them I kept moving and asking then to stop lol
Very well explained ❤
anybody work in scan centre
in which country
thank you
MRI processing kese hoti h
Nice vdo, MRI would be nice !!!
They now have a video about MRI
Just had mine a few days ago it was so uncomfortable with that heat I was struggling when it was over
It’s not bad at all. 95% of our patients are perfectly fine. Just don’t be a baby lol
Thank you so much, it's a great video
Thanks

❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel tired after my ct scan it was my first time I dont know if everyone feels like that
I know Im a bit late to respond, but a slight tiredness is normal. Its because you get a pretty large dose of radiation with a CT, especially a full breast CT, and your body has to normalize any chemical unbalance. Especiallly the amount of red blood cells drops. This is also known as radiation hangover, and usually goes away within a few days.
@@floriang7435thank you for explaining...I also felt tired.I was in the ct room with a patient during ct scan ( CECT whole abdomen)
magkano po mag pa ganyan?
mera kuch din pehla brain ka ct scan hua ha dar toh lag raha tha lakin koi dar ki baat nahi
👍
*20 years later*. "Turns out all those CT scans and mammograms we were giving patients gave them cancer. Oh well. At least we got money from them via chemo and radiation treatments that caused rebound cancers after the cancer was caused by our machines."
Can you go to the hospital and just make an appointment for CT scan?
I'm not sure but usually u need to have a certain health problem to be able to make the doctor decide on CT scan..but if u're noticing something different with your body u can get yourself checked.. it's very important to stay alert on any changes on our body...if you're interested on getting a CT scan ,u can ask your doctor first, they'll give their opinion on it ...
Awesome
Hi. A day before I turned 17 in 2007, I had a brain tomography with contrast due to fainting, falling and seizures. The study was carried out the day after the incident I suffered. My brain was intact. Is there a possibility that I would get sick at some time due to the radiation received just over 12 years ago? The study lasted about 15 minutes. At first they resumed it after a few seconds because they said I had moved. I am 29 years old today and I have a healthy brain. This data was confirmed last year by an MRI. The scanner was a toshiba tct 300s. Thank you so much everyone.
No. It's not possible, period.
I think you have cancer.
How are you now..
I want to ask. A few days ago I did a Contrast CT Scan of the Abdomen and Pelvis. The doctor didn't tell me to change my pants and shirt because he saw that I wasn't wearing any metal. but I forgot to tell the doctor that my underwear has plastic buttons. will this cause artifacts
No ..chill maro
I m sick and I need really help
i remember having a CT scan and lemme tell yall all the tea. first, come early to book your appointment cause they will give a whole bottle full of some water (but it's not water tho the taste is very different) four hours before your appointment and if yall go late then it will get really late after the scan is done. second, after four hours are gone (also go to the washroom after drinking the water, don't hold it) you will be sent to the room and they will put a cannula iv set in one of your veins near your wrist joint and they'll add two medicines and if you've ever had a allergy from any medicine then tell them, tell them even if you didn't, then you'll get a document to sign. third, strip, literally take off everything except your inner wear like for real everything and they'll give you a hospital gown so wear it. fourth, then after some time you'll be sent inside the CT scan room, go lay down on your back and put your hands above your head like when you're stretching and keep it there but don't lock your fingers together or anything, just cross your wrists against each other and keep them up, then one of the doctors will come and check if everything is in place and then they'll begin. fifth, don't breathe when they tell you not to, the doctor told me that they'll inform me when to hold my breath or not through the speaker cause if not then it would ruin my skin and the way i panicked but like for real, do what they're saying. sixth, don't allow your parents/guardian inside the CT scan room. seventh, after a few rounds, they'll come and add another medicine and it did kinda hurt tho but it ended after a few seconds so, it's fine. eight, DO NOT MOVE. ninth, after everything is done ask them about when will the reports be ready and guys, don't make such a silly mistake like my mum did. so, basically the cannula iv set was still inside me and my mum being someone who doesn't have patience took me and got out of the hospital, even tho the doctor told her that they'll take it out after half an hour and GURL- WHEN I SAY I CRIED LIKE A BITCH THAT MEANS I CRIED LIKE A BITCH LIKE FOR REAL, EVERYONE WAS STARING AT US LIKE WE WERE SOME RUNAWAYS FROM THE HOSPITAL LIKE WTF AND I WAS LITERALLY CRYING SO MUCH AND THEN MY MUM FELT GUILTY AND BOUGHT PIZZA AND THEN TOOK ME TO A CHEMIST, WE GOT IT REMOVED BUT MY HAND WAS SWOLLEN AND THEN HE SAID THAT THE IV SET WAS INSERTED NEAR A JOINT SO, IT WILL CAUSE SWELLING SO AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES TAKE OFF THE COTTON AND TAPE AND PUT SOME ICE ON THE SWELLING AND NOT TO TOUCH IT- and yea hope yall don't make the same mistake as me plus if they'll tell you to come back after half an hour to get it removed then just go to the cafeteria to eat something cause i was starving like seven hours without any food. tenth, after you get home, go remove the cotton and tape, put some ice for some minutes, take a shower (if yall want), eat something and rest plus don't put much pressure on your wrist... k now bye ☺🔫
Waow, the same thing as my process
I'm going to be having my first CT scan soon. Just waiting for the place to call me for an appointment. I have to have a CT scan of my intestines.
Are you okay ?? Hope all is well
@@alexandragriffin9823 Yeah, I'm okay.
Hi! So today (08th feb 2023) I had a CT scan like have half'n hour ago
wow
helpful
Yes helpful video
South Delhi has the best CT scan center named Helvetia Diagnostics & Healthcare which provides the best service. I usually go there for medical test.
Nice
That's great thanks lot
I’ve been through ct scans about 20 times in my life (I have a lot of medical problems) and they slightly increase your risk of cancer each time. Edit: because of that they only put you through a ct scan if it’s absolutely necessary.
20 CT scans in a period of ?
@@SANDY-ul5mb about 4 years
@@superpwnagetim6262 Bro I had 1 chest ct and 1 throat X ray...will it cause any problem
@@SANDY-ul5mb highly unlikely, it increases the risk very slightly
@@superpwnagetim6262 is it at least 0.5% each time?
Yesterday I had a CT scan
The only type of x-Ray I’ve ever gotten is a dental x-ray
Large square and a tunnel underground
Infections internal injuries and bleeding
And signs of heart and vascular disease
Can non contrasted CT scan shows brain tumours.
Yes
Computerized Tomography scan
Computed not computerized
At least that part is painless
Magkano po ct scan

No but if absolutely necessary you still could
I have MRIs for brain Tumors
You still with us bud?
Did they found in ct scan?
Are you doing good?
It's like one of the most dangerous medical tests. I still don't understand why I got this for my lower back examination (later turned out to be a herrniated disc)
Z
I can help answer that. Some of diseases and abnormalities is cannot be shown using basic Xray examination because basic Xray only shown simple anatomy (not all organ visible) and nonspecific volume of abnormality. By using Cross Sectional Anatomy from CT scan (or MRI), we can gave doctor and patient exact number of disease volume and more specific organ that is affected.
In your case, Herniated Disc (or HNP > Hernia Nuclei Pulposi) is very delicate neurological/orthopedical abnormality which doctor examine spine, disc spine, and spinal cord that is affected. Using basic Xray probably only shown that the affected disc is shrinking between your vertebrae column and by using CT, you'll saw that stuffing that filling up the Disc is pushing your spinal cord and causing BIG PROBLEM because it function to control "unconscious movement" like peristaltic of stomach even Heartbeat.
About the danger level, it's has more radiation so of course it more "dangerous" even though radiation effect is really Random and has a lot of probability.
CT Scan can be seriously dangerous by using Contrast Dye on patient with allergy
Not true in any sense :)

Today my grand father took a dangreous ct scan
Y dangerous means?
Im 17 and I've went twice for CT scan.
Was it painful?
@@pallavisethii99 i had a CT scan for my lower body and they will inject a fluid due to which you'll feel a bit weird in your nerves. It wasn't painfull.
@@jaiswal5639 yea, i remember that
Dont expose your body to xray too much cause it can lead to a cancer in future
@@Ive03 oop- i've had threw x-rays and im gonna have more in the future but they all are taken after a long period of time so ig it's fine
Cat scan helps your doctor
I am going to do CT scan of my brain because I fall on my brain
Is anyone concerned about the radiation exposure from a CT?
Ionized radiation is used and there really is no level radiation that is deemed safe.
I read that one CT scan can expose a patient to as much as 200 regular x-rays.
Absolutely, CT Scan is very detrimental to one's health
Not only risk of cancer down the road but immediate health problem as well

That’s ok I’ll spell it C-A-T
