Depending on which part of your body is being scanned, you may be asked to:
- Remove some or all of your clothing and wear a disposable gown.
- Remove metal objects such as belts, jewelry, dentures, and glasses that may interfere with the imaging process.
- Refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours before the CT scan.
