CT Scan Anxiety
It is not uncommon at all to feel anxious before or during an CT or CAT scan. Until recently, the proceedure almost always involved sliding your body into a tight fitting tube. Recent developments in the technology however, have widened these tubes, created new space to all sides and in some cases, allowed the patient to sit or even stand with nothing in front of them. However, many people will still feel some levels of anxiety with even the most 'open' machine proceedures.
