Question:
What does a CT Scan of my head involve please?
Is it unpleasant? How bad compared to the dentist?
Answers:
I'd say a CT Scan is about 10 times easier than a dental cleaning. Depending on what they are looking for chances are it will take you more time to find where you need to go than for the actual test.
Like others have said it is just a specialised xray. No pain involved. The only small thing is if they use contrast it would involve an injection or drinking some funky tasting liquid so they can see things better. But trust me that is no biggy either.
I've had a head CT Scan (no contrast), and a few kidney CT Scans (with and without contrast). Really no big deal - and I am one of those who believe in telling the full truth. If it was going hurt - I'd let you know.
