[BouncingPurpleCows]

@HawkFire2011 yeah, scanning and stuff like that is 100% pain free.

I'd like to correct those people saying a CT scan will cause cancer. The truth is it might cause cancer, but a normal X-ray might cause cancer, being sunburnt once might cause cancer, even travelling in a plane exposes you to radiation and might cause cancer. We live on a radioactive planet. Granted, doses are larger with CT, but most people have a scan because they already have a life threatening illness or injury and they'd die without the examination.

once they scan u 20000000 of radiation will b in ur body guess wat in a decade or 2 tey will develop into cancer

Be careful CT scan can cause cancer.

[27ike3]

This is better than an MRI..

[LittleRedDrum]

it wasnt painful for me the other month. but because it was my first one, i had a panic attack so i was in pain from holding my own hand so freaking tight hahaha

but its not scary really. when it was done i was like "but whens the scary bit?" lol

@samhainaz The ct scan can't put u in renal failure. It's only if they inject the iodine contrast. It's hard on your kidneys if you take certain types of medicine.

[Dozzer]

It can be painful if you cannot lie flat on your back

[samhainaz]

well its not painful but u need to be careful. i take metformin for diabetes type 2. i was told to refrain from this medication for a few days because it can cause kidney failure if u go thru a CT scan.
