Patient's question:
Previously, a CT scan was performed on the lungs. Can I now request 3D reconstruction from the original hospital?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Fasting for 4-8 hours before abdominal CT scan is required. Some medical imaging tests require being well-fed and hydrated to proceed. For example, abdominal CT scans demand specific attention to the amount and timing of water intake. For upper abdominal CT scans, you need to drink 300 milliliters of diluted contrast agent, and the scan can be performed shortly after drinking. When undergoing a CT scan of the kidneys, the total amount of water intake is accumulated to 800 milliliters, and you must wait for 20 minutes before the scan. Prostate, bladder, and gynecological ultrasound exams also require increased fluid intake, and the bladder must be full before the exam can proceed.Advice: When you arrive at the hospital for the exam, if needed, the doctor will arrange for you to drink water.
