  • 4

    Pregnancy : If you are pregnant or suspect you could be pregnant, notify your doctor as the radiation used in the CT scan can pose risks to an unborn child.

    Medications : Discuss any medications you're currently taking with your doctor, as you may need to adjust your regular regimen before the scan.
