Anyone know what a CT Scan is?
I went to the doctor because I have like crazy headaches, at least 2 every day...and he scheduled me for a "CT Scan". I have heard of a CAT Scan, but apparently that is something different. Does anyone know what this is, or even better has had one?

they lay you down on this flat bed like thing, and it moves into this little tunnel thing and then there is an x ray that moves around your whole head/body, that way it can take pics of you from every angle around to give the doctors an acurate idea of whats wrong, or if there even is anything wrong.

ya CT is way shorter than an MRI, and they don't always put iodine in you, when i had my CT scan for my ankle there was no idoine involved...
oh and MRI's are WAAAAY louder, lol i'd hate to have my head in one of those

well for me they wanted to see how swollen my appendix was so they had to use iodine so they can see my blood stream etc but it all depends most likely they will for u too if ur having headaches to see if there are lumps or anything in ur brain.

Anyways I went for it today, and it wasn't bad at all. I went into this loud room, the guy told me to take off my hat and my earrings and lay on some big bed. He put my head in between two cushions so I wouldn't move it, and told me to be as still as I can. Then it kept sending my head in and out of some little oven-like thing for about 5 minutes.
No injections or kleenex gear required!
