# CT Scanner

## Siemens go.All CT scanner

Our on site CT scanning service is provided by Alliance Medical who supply trained CT staff to operate round the clock provision. The scanner is located in front of Hall M and the Royal Hall on Ripon Road. 

The scanner is sufficiently large to allow an intensive care bed to wheel into the scanner via a shallow ramp. Entry to the scanner takes place through a pair of doors sufficiently wide enough to accommodate a bed. Within the scanner there is plenty of room for the ICU team to enter with the patient and arrange medical devices and place the ventilator ready for the scan.

**During the scan the ICU team will be required to exit into either the control room or wait briefly outside the scanner.** A CT scan is very fast, typically completed in under 5-mins once the patient is setup. The team can then rapidly re-enter and remove the patient.
