10-15 minutes
A brain CT shouldn’t take but 10 -15 seconds without contrast once your on the table. Add an additional 10-15 seconds if your getting the CT brain with contrast too.
CT scans are quicker than MRI scans, usually lasting about 10 minutes. They will have you lay on a bed that’s slowly moved into a CT scanner head first
the scanner will rotate around your head. Prep time if contrast is added and paperwork will be longer than the actual scan.
