What to expect
A comfortable, safe and stress-free scan.
Most scans take 20–30 minutes as you lie comfortably, while more complex scans may take an hour. To help you relax, choose an immersive visual scene and the music you prefer. Parents may accompany children when appropriate.
For some conditions, a safe contrast dye may be injected into a vein to enhance visibility. It is normal to feel a warm or cool sensation. If you experience discomfort or an allergic reaction, a physician is available for immediate assistance.
