What is it like to have a ct scan on the stomach and pelvis area?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
CT scan: You will arrive to radiology and have an IV placed. This will be used to inject a contrast material into your veins in order to better visualize your intra-abdominal organs. You will also likely drink a contrast material to allow better visualization of your GI tract. The actual scan is very fast and you will have to hold your breath to prevent motion artifacts. Good luck.

See below: you may be asked to drink contrast before the scan and be injected with intravenous contrast as you are scanned to look inside your body. See the link below. http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=abdominct
