I had an abdominal CT done back in June, when I went into the ER in excrutiating pain. ... The CT's really not that bad. But, I do DEFINATELY recommend the orange flavoring with the stuff you have to drink! You just drink like 2 bottles of fluid that they give you (it may be 3, I don't remember) ... the orange stuff helps the flavor a lot! Then they give you an IV with radioactive dye in it ... it makes you feel really hot in the naturally warm parts of your body --This lasts for awhile. The actual CT is really easy. You lay on your back on a movable table, with your hands behind your head. They move you around in the donut-shaped scanner and you have to hold your breath occasionally. It's not bad.
