How long does a CT Scan take?
An actual CT scan typically takes 5-15 minutes. However, patients who are scheduled for abdomen/pelvis CT scans will be required to drink an Oral Contrast Drink up to 2 hours prior. These patients must allow for this 2-hour prep time when scheduling this procedure. For your convenience, patients may can pick up the cral contrast drink prior to the scan rather than drinking it and waiting at the hospital.
