Beary Has a CT Scan (without Contrast)

TEACHES

Hi! My name is Beary. My doctor wanted to learn more about me today.

My grownup brought me to the hospital to have my picture taken with a CT scanner.

I thought the camera looked like a donut!

A CT scanner is a really big, round camera that takes pictures of the inside of my body.

First, I laid down on the bed outside of the camera. I got to wear a seatbelt, just like in the car.

Then, the bed moved! It brought me inside of the camera. Nothing touched me while I had my pictures taken.

My job was to hold as still as I could so that the pictures wouldn't be blurry.

While the camera was taking pictures, it made a swishing noise, kind of like a washing machine.

I had to hold my breath during the pictures, but only for a few seconds.

Then the bed moved me out of the camera and I was all done!
My grownup told me that I did a great job holding still for my pictures!
