It depends on what is being scanned and how fast the machine is. Machines are like computers (technologywise) a computer from 1995 could still get the work done, but one that is brand new could get it done a lot faster. That being said it also depends on the type of exam. If there is a biopsy involved it could take a few hours. But for a regular run of the mill scan you would be on and off the table in about 10 minutes. (ask for a blanket its really cold in those rooms)

most should only last 10 minutes or so for a routine scan. There are cases, such as biopsies and such that can last from 30 minutes to an hour.

CT scans take different amount of times depending on which part of the body is being scanned. A CT scan can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to complete.

How long should a full body scan take for emts?

I presume by scan you mean examination. In an EMS setting a Primary Exam takes only seconds and Secondary Exam should take only a minute or two. This should be followed by a more thorough Detailed Patient Examination once any presenting injuries or emergency conditions are stabilized. This can take several minutes.
