How long does a ct kidney stone protocol take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seconds: Using a modern ct scanner the scan should take on the order of seconds to perform. However you may have to wait between scans to allow contrast to move through the body for instance from the bloodstream into the kidneys and then into the bladder.
