Answers:
I would say that Bobbie gave a pretty accurate description. Our facility requires a blood test before your CT scan if you are over age 60 or a diabetic. If you are a diabetic and on glycophage, you must stop this medication 2 days prior to the exam and also have another blood test post exam before you can start taking your meds again. This is to ensure your kidneys are functioning properly. If you have any prior examinations of your abdomen (IE: ultrasound or KUBs), make sure they are available to the radiologist who will be reading your CT scan.

You will be required not to have any food six hours prior to your scan, no liquids four hours prior. You will then be asked to drink 6-8 cups of barium (depending on your weight) two hours before your scan. Then they will start an IV line so they can give you an iodine dye contrast during the scan. Depending on how much info they need, your scan will take about 30-45 minutes. I have CAT scans almost every three or six months for my cancer depending on how my cancer is progressing, or not.
