Should be no more than 1 minute once your in the table and positioned properly.
At most 30 seconds for modern CT scanners.
approx. 20 to 30 seconds
Just a matter of minutes. Getting registered and changed to a gown takes the most time. If they decide to use oral contrast that will take about an hour longer.
How long does it take?
Typically one breath hold. Different body parts are different. But it generally takes way longer to get registered, and get positioned, than it does to take the images.
