Feeling anxious about an upcoming CT or PET/CT scan?
You’re not the only one. A lot of people worry about:
• feeling claustrophobic
• how long they’ll be in the scanner
• whether it will hurt
At Bluegrass Regional Imaging, our technologists walk you through each step, keep an eye on you the whole time, and are happy to answer questions before we ever start the scan.
A few ways to make scan day easier:
• Tell us if you’re feeling nervous or claustrophobic
• Ask what to expect before your exam starts
• Practice slow, deep breathing during the scan
If you have an upcoming CT or PET/CT and you’re feeling worried, let our team know when you arrive—we’re here to help you feel as comfortable and informed as possible. 💙
