Good Day Mr Parker. I am Bella, a student radiographer and I'll be doing your CT scan examination. Can you please follow me into the exmaination room as I will explain what the entire procedure entails and you may ask me any questions related to it.
Okay, thank you Bella.
Yes, that will be okay.
Thank you. Can you kindly undress and change into the hospital gown?
Mr Parker, can you plaese confirm your full name and birth date?
15 January 1987
Okay, will do!
I aasure you that the discomfort will be minimal, and the entire examination won't take longer than 20 minutes. All I need from you, Sir, is that you lay extremely still on the x-ray table when the examination is taking place. The machine wil make a 'beeping' noise but that is completely normal.
One more thing Sir, I will not be standing next to you during the examination but I will be by the panel control
Bella, I suffer from claustrophobia and I wanted to know how long it will take. Is it going to hurt? I really don't understand what will happen.
