Preparing for a CT Head Scan
Patients should wear comfortable, loose clothing for the CT head scan. As well,
they should remove anything that might interfere with obtaining an accurate
image of the head, such as:
- Earrings
- Facial jewelry
- Eyeglasses
- Dentures
- Dental implants
- Hair accessories
Patients may be requested to refrain from eating and drinking one or more hours
prior to the CT Head scan.
Women should always inform their doctor or x-ray technologist of any possibility
of pregnancy, even if the pregnancy has yet to be confirmed.
