It is one of the Diagnostic tests the Doctors recommend before comming to a decision on their diagnosis. Generaly no doctor recomends the CT scan unless it is necessary since it is bit expensive too.
How ever if your Doctor is your family Doctor & you belive him and have the test.There is no harm either there.

Yea, it iz expensive, thats why i was wondering if it is really necessary. But the doc was like, we cannot determine after doing the normal x-ray, so u HAVE to do this.

My 17 year old daughter had to have a CT scan. We didn't know if her appendix was bad so they had to do one to rule it out. Its just a great big fancy w-ray machine that can see things better.
They don't take that long depending on what you are having scanned. They make you drink a chalky substance and a lot of it.

Its good i suppose, to be sure. The thing about drinking a chalky substance sounds disgusting
