A CT scan can be used to diagnose a multitude of conditions that affect the chest. While these tests are not painful, preparing for the scan can put your mind at ease and make you more comfortable during the procedure. Wear loose-fitting clothes and remove any metal objects like jewelry, glasses, bobby pins and dentures before beginning the scan. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or suffer from claustrophobia.
