How long does this actually take for the person having the scan?
Not sagittal slices. Those are transverse (axial) slices acquired in this scan.
Haha. Unfortunately I don’t know what ct scan is until I watched this video. Thanks.

Be careful CT scan can cause cancer.

That’s not true at all, CT scans will not give your child cancer.
ct scan is no good for kids it will make cancer in kids body cuz they live long er allow radiation turn into cancer dr said it better to have the kids be observe and taken care by the dr overnight it more accurate and safer. ct scan ur kids thy will have cancer by the time they r 30s yr old i promise u that facts
@mussarat786 yes, i had a panic attack when i did a brain ct…
this isnt good for chlostrophobicc people
wow so cool.. one more reason to be a doctor
@samantha34ize Back then, the technology was far inferior to todays current generation of CT scanners. Today, it uses far less X-ray radiation because the computer can resolve far more image information from far less exposure.
I’m getting one tomorrow. I get chills and afterwards, I get headaches, so they’re checking what’s wrong with me
PLZ USE MRI OR ULTRASOUNR (MAGNET AND ELCTRIC DONT USE THIS ESPECIALLY IN YOUNG KIDS THEY WILL GET CANCER IT LET RADIATION DEVELOP INTO CANCER AS TIME GO BY MY FRIEND GOT CANCER FROM THIS CUZ THEY CT SCAN HIM AS A LIL KIDS HE 30 NOW HE IS DEAD

Where they scan, depends on what they are looking for.For some conditions, such as mine, they focus on the base of the skull. I have Arnold Chiari Malformation, type 1, In this disorder, the whole at the base of the skull, is too small, which causes an increase in pressure within the skull, and herniation
( pushing out of) brain material, from the cerebellum, down into the spinal column. In my case, its 15mm. Meds have helps my symptoms a lot, I still have to take precautions, though.
benisamartin hope all went well with your sons ct scan.sometimes fear of the unknown can be scarier than reality,so hope this posting helped
@benisamartim4 Respect and happiness to you brother.
@benisamartim4 Thanks for the comment, glad the video is useful. Best of luck to you and your son.
My son is autistic and he is having a ct today. I showed him this clip to explain it to him, so maybe he could understand better and not wig-out when we got there.
If they suspect a neck fracture, he should be wearing a firm collar to stabilize the neck. Otherwise, they may create paralyze him.
radiation extravaganza
