How We Perform CT Guided Injections
These procedures are carried out in our CT imaging suite by experienced radiologists. The CT scanner is used to accurately locate the targeted joint, nerve, or spinal structure. Once the correct position is confirmed, a fine needle is carefully guided to the treatment site to deliver medication.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically completed within a short appointment, allowing patients to return home soon after.
Preparing for Your CT Guided Injection
- Our team will confirm your specific preparation instructions when you book. As a general guide:
- Let us know when booking if you take any blood thinning medication, as your referring doctor may need to provide advice before your procedure.
- You may be asked to arrange a driver, as driving is not recommended for the remainder of the day after some injection procedures.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
- Bring your referral and any relevant previous imaging with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an ultrasound scan take?
Most ultrasound scans take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Your sonographer will confirm the expected duration when you book.
Do I need a referral for an ultrasound in Queensland?
Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required for a Medicare-eligible ultrasound. Contact your nearest Radiant Radiology clinic if you have questions about your referral.
Is ultrasound safe during pregnancy?
Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than radiation, and is a routine, widely used method for monitoring pregnancy. Your sonographer will discuss your scan with you on the day.
Do I need to prepare for my ultrasound?
Preparation depends on the type of scan. Some studies, such as abdominal or pelvic ultrasound, may require fasting or a full bladder. Our team will confirm specific instructions when you book.
What's the difference between an ultrasound and a CT scan?
Ultrasound uses sound waves and is best suited to soft tissue, while CT uses low-dose radiation and provides detailed cross-sectional imaging. Your referring doctor will recommend the most appropriate scan for your situation.
