FAQs

Why is a Scanogram important before a CT scan?

It helps establish the correct anatomical coverage and positioning before detailed CT images are acquired, contributing to an efficient and appropriately targeted examination.

Do I need any preparation before a Scanogram?

Usually, no special preparation is required for the scanogram itself. However, preparation may be necessary for the diagnostic CT that follows, depending on whether contrast or other specific protocols are required.

Can children undergo a CT Scanogram?

Yes, when clinically indicated. Since children are more sensitive to radiation, appropriate pediatric dose protocols are used.

What are the advantages of NCCT Scanogram?

It provides a quick preliminary overview of the body region, helping define the scan range, confirm positioning, and plan CT acquisition efficiently while helping avoid unnecessary imaging outside the required area.
