An IV will be started. You may be asked to drink some contrast material. You will be placed into the bore of a CT scanner. You should be comfortable. They will take on set of scans and then infuse the intravenous contrast You may fell a burning sensation and have a metallic taste in your mouth. They will then take other sets of images during infusion and after infusion. Good luck. Don't worry.
