CT Nursing

CT nursing is a specialized area in radiology where nurses support the use of CT (computed tomography) scans. These nurses assist patients before, during, and after the scan, ensuring comfort and safety. They prepare patients by explaining procedures, screening for allergies or contraindications, and monitoring vital signs. During the scan, they observe the patient and provide reassurance. Post-procedure, they check on recovery and manage any need for contrast agents used during imaging. Overall, CT nurses combine clinical skills with patient care to facilitate accurate imaging while maintaining patient well-being.
