Assuming that you are already inside the CT scanner ready to get scanned. CT scan without contrast (head, sinus, orbits, abdomen, pelvis, cervical, thoracic, lumbar and dental scans) take approximately 15 minutes. CT studies with contrast of the chest, pelvis, head or neck take approximately 30 minutes. Whereas, aortic contrast studies may take up to 45 minutes.
