You will meet with a
DGA CT technologist whose primary concern is your care and well-being.
Our technologists have completed a rigorous course of education and training, and they
work under the close supervision of our radiologists to assure the most accurate results from
your examination.
Prior to the start of your CT exam the
technologist will explain the procedure to you. This is done for two reasons: to put
your mind at ease as to what is taking place and to ask for your cooperation.
Simply follow the instructions of the DGA technologist for a relaxed examination and to
achieve the desired results.
Next, you will be gently positioned and
secured on the scan table. It is important that you be secured because even the
slightest movement can blur the picture and result in the need for repeated scans.
You will be moved into the scanner,
which is a small, air-conditioned chamber. The technologist will have you in full
view at all times and be in constant communication via two-way microphones. During
this brief time, you will hear the humming of the equipment as it produces the images.
You may also feel slight movement of the table as it prepares for the next
scan. |
