This varies slightly from place to place.
The pelvic CT may require you to drink an oral preparation before the test and it may require an injection into a vein in your arm. This depends on what the doctor wants to see on your test. Your doctor will make an order telling the CT technologist what he wants or he may already have routine orders in place for what he wants for a certain test. The patient lays on the CT scan table for usually less than 10 minutes and newer machines may be less than 5 minutes. There are a few rare CT scans that may take longer or might require you to get rescanned after a certain time length. All of the above should be altered to what will give you the best scan.

An InstaTrak CT refers to a CT or CAT scan, usually of the sinuses, which is done prior to performing a sinus surgery in which the surgeon will use the InstaTrak Surgical Navigation System. Although the majority of CT scans for the InstaTrak are done for sinus surgery, some Neurosurgeons will order a CT scan for a brain surgery.
