Hello peeps

I am going for a CT scan of my chest next week, and I forget - is the CT scan the one that you are totally enclosed in, or the one like a polo mint that you just pass through?

Cheers!

polo mint or donught is the CT scan!!

Yep hunny its the polo one and the good thing about the high resolution ones are they get a more detailed pcture quicker!! you may be asked to do some breath holding so they can get details of your lungs full of air and empty.
