Do you mean how to deal with having a CT scan done? It depends on what section of your body they are going to scan. They will give you an IV, possibly have you drink some dye, and they may give you a dye enima. The scan itself dosn't last very long. You have to be extremely still... if you move they have to start all over again. Just breath and try not to stress. I've had several and the worse part is the time building up to it.

A c-t scan is a series of multiple x-rays taken at high speed while revolving about you. This constant blast of radiation from every angle is only effective if you lie totally still . Do not subject yourself to this form of diagnostics for more than a very few times throughout your lifetime 'cause the cumulative affect can alter you dna to the point of dentrimental (-) health. Mri's have not been proven to be any less destructive over a long period of life. Either way any foreign subsance or jerky movement will spoil this "captured time".Honest communications are safest way forward to effect a safe outcome.

If they make you drink that disgusting Barium Sulphate milk shake, be sure you are near a toilet 3 to 4 hours later, or wear a diaper.

You've got to give us more. Are you having an exam or are you studying for the registry? I'm confused.
