The actual scan usually takes about 30 seconds
A whole body CT scan without intravenous contrast should take no more than 10 minutes which includes :
Assisting in positioning patient on the scanning table and centering
Remotely Pushing table into the gantry
Remotely Taking the images
Remotely Pulling table out of the gantry
Assisting in removing patient off table

10 minutes if no contrast is involved; otherwise, no more than an 1 hr.
