MSCT or CT scan or a CAT scan stands for Computerized Tomography or Computerized Axial Tomography. It derives images from different angles around the body and this information is then computed to reveal a cross-section of the body’s tissues and organs.

You will be asked to remove your belt, watch, etc and to switch off your mobile phone. It is advisable to be still during scanning as any movement could result in the need for a repeat scan. You should inform the nurse if you are pregnant or menstruating.
