CT scan (3/13)

[Xtwins4lifeX]

How long does this actually take for the person having the scan?

[tribetube]

Not sagittal slices. Those are transverse (axial) slices acquired in this scan.

[jhamien920]

Haha. Unfortunately I don't know what ct scan is until I watched this video. Thanks.

[SadDepressedClown]

That's not true at all, CT scans will not give your child cancer.

[lizichell2]

@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.

[SweetyGirly88]

I realy dont like this ct scan but its very usefull, it has found an angioma inside my head >.< 3x5 cm big and nobody knows how to fix it

[trentwilson7777]

I once had to go in a cat scan... I was really sick and I threw up 37 times till I got sick of it And I had to spend the night at the hospital. Bad times...

[cooltu2000]

this thing cause cancer in the lung blood and other comlication do mri ok

[whitecubguy13]

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]

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.

[OUlearn]

@benisamartim4 Thanks for the comment, glad the video is useful. Best of luck to you and your son.

[mzyzer19]

@benisamartim4 Respect and happiness to you brother.

If they suspect a neck fracture, he should be wearing a firm collar to stabilize the neck. Otherwise, they may create paralyze him.

I got a CT scan of them for my lungs yesterday when i when for my yearlyt lung test. Not a plescent exoericence. I hated the fact that i had to take off my entiire top half off (including bra) but at least i was given one of those robe things. It felt like it tok aaages. But if it helps me, its good, so guess i can't conplain that much.

[MultiModality]

Looks to me like they missed the base of the skull.

[kittypet375]

i am getting a sinus CAT scan on thursday, it doesnt look bad though.

[NlGGGA]

tHEY CAN FIND OUT IF YOU ARE GAY IF THEY CT SCAN YOUR HEAD

[1gfella]

No. The Cat Scan is different from an MRI. A CT uses radiation to make an image when an MRI uses a magnetic radio frequencies, no radiation involved with MRI. MRI goes into more detail.

[MATTHEWLAWSON21]

Is it the same thing as a MRI

[shallowbox]

Yup, the average CT scan only lasts a few minutes

[bainshee]

I got some temesta befor i got this scan said i was abit clastrofoboic xD

I just enjoy being under ^_^

[redbike2008]

Can I be sedated before this?

[teacherx2]

You don't need to be sedated for this. It is not the coffin effect with an MRI.
