What is a CT?
A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to make cross-sectional pictures of the body. It is fast and is used for the chest, abdomen, head, bones and blood vessels, often with an injected contrast dye. Health New Zealand: CT (computed tomography) scan

CT scans need a referral from a doctor or specialist. Public hospitals provide CT for referred and emergency patients. Private clinics accept referrals for insured or self-paid scans.

The scan itself usually takes 5 to 15 minutes. Allow 30 to 60 minutes if contrast dye is used, and tell the clinic about kidney problems, diabetes medicines or previous contrast reactions.
