If you’ve been putting off a scan because you think it’ll take all day—we’ve got news for you. At Life Guard Imaging in Phoenix, our preventative CT scans are quick, non-invasive, and intended to fit into your life—not disrupt it. You won’t need to change into a hospital gown, and you won’t need anesthesia. Best of all—you won’t be here for hours.

How Long Does a Preventative CT Scan Actually Take?

The CT scan itself takes just 5 to 8 minutes. That’s right—the technology is fast and efficient. Our low-dose, high-resolution CT scanners capture thousands of images in just a few minutes. You lie on the table, hold your breath briefly when prompted, and that’s it.

There’s no pain and no prep (other than avoiding caffeine, depending on your scan type). Also, you won’t have to worry about a long recovery time.

Here’s What to Expect at Your CT Scan Appointment

Expect to spend about 60 to 90 minutes total with us. Here’s what will happen during your CT scan appointment:

• Initial Check-In: We’ll confirm your health history, walk you through what to expect, and answer any questions. You’re never just a chart here. You’re a person we’re invested in.
• Your Scan: Again—the process is quick, quiet, and completely non-invasive. Just a few minutes, and you’re done.
• Personalized Consultation: We review your imaging results with care. You’ll receive a detailed report from a board-certified radiologist and guidance on what to do next. That might mean sharing your results with your primary care provider, following up with a specialist, or simply keeping an eye on things with regular preventative screenings.
