FAQ Highlights

A: The CT scan helps doctors and oncologists plan the treatment by creating a 3D map of the body, which is essential for radiation therapy.
Q: What happens during a CT scan?
A: During a CT scan, you will need to lie still for a few minutes while the scan is taken. If you have a head, neck, or brain tumor, a mask will be created to help you stay still during the scan.
