What to Expect With a CT Scanner
According to the Mayo Clinic, even though CT scans expose you to ionizing radiation, the amount is so small that it can’t even be reliably measured. The benefits of early diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition far outweigh the minor risk posed by a CT scan. This type of technology might sound scary, but it's a simple, in-office procedure that takes just a few minutes to perform. It's similar to getting an x-ray, and once done, you'll be free to go about your usual day. The images produced by a CT scan are sent to a computer to create a 3D view of your internal structures.
