CT Scan
I have to have a CT scan.
This is a special machine that takes pictures of what’s inside me.
I will try to change out of my clothes and put on a special hospital gown.
I can ask for help if I need it.
I will try to lie down on the bed.
I might get medicine put in my hand or arm with a needle, to help the doctors take better pictures.
The bed will move into the machine. This is okay.
I will see some lights inside the machine. I can close my eyes if I don't like the lights.
I can wear earplugs to help with any noise I don’t like.
I will try to lie still and relax so the doctor can get good pictures.
The bed will move out when it is finished taking pictures.
This is okay.
If I got some medicine in my hand or arm, they will take it out now.
When I am finished I can put my clothes back on.
All finished, Good job!
How am I feeling?
