CT Scans
A computerized tomography, or CT scan, combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and then uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (referred to as slices) of your body’s blood vessels, soft tissues and bones. CT scan images provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do.

A CT scan has many uses, but it is particularly well-suited to quickly examine or diagnose patients who may have internal injuries or internal bleeding, such as from car accidents or other trauma. It may be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and can be used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiologic treatments.

Your doctor may recommend a CT scan to diagnose muscle and bone disorders, such as fractures or lesions (tumors); pinpoint clotting or infection; detect diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, lung nodules, liver masses and other conditions; monitor the effectiveness of treatments you may be receiving, such as for cancer.  Our CT scanners offer low-dose, high-resolution imaging, ensuring safety as well as excellent diagnostics.

Preparing for a CT Scan
CT scan times vary from 15 to 30 minutes. If your CT is being performed with contrast, you may not have anything to eat, drink or chew for three hours before your exam. If you are having a CT scan with contrast, you will receive an injection before being scanned. Please let us know if you are diabetic or allergic to shellfish or iodine, as this may affect your exam. If you are having a CT scan of your abdomen and/or pelvis, you must pick up a drink in our office at least one day before your exam. If you are having a CT scan without contrast, there is NO preparation for the exam. 

All images and reports are immediately available to your Mount Sinai South Nassau clinicians from their offices 24 hours a day, via secure connection.
