What can I do to make my son comfortable with this CT scan?
There are a couple things you can do depending on his age. If he is old enough to understand how long things take you can reassure him that the scan is actually very quick, in the realm of seconds. The CT scanner is not as enclosed as MRI scanner so less of a tight spaces issue. Music is certainly fine, but again we are only talking seconds for the scan. So, he won't be able to even finish one song. Best of luck and hopefully you encounter a tech who is good with kids and the process will be a breeze. READ MORE
Can a CT Scan cause rashes for a child?
The CT scan itself should not cause a rash. Intravenous contrast can cause a rash and may be a sign your child is allergic to the contrast. You should let your doctor know this occurred because if further imaging with contrast is needed, your child may require premeditation to prevent further reactions. READ MORE

Remember, children are not just small adults. READ MORE
