Many people will pay attention to one question when receiving ophthalmic CT examination: how long does ophthalmic CT examination take? The time consuming of ophthalmic CT examination is described in detail in the following four aspects: preparation, examination process, interpretation and summary of results.
preparation
Before receiving ophthalmic CT examination, patients need to make some preparations. The first step is to have a detailed medical history inquiry and eye examination with the doctor to understand the patient's condition and the specific parts that need further examination. Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor may require routine eye examinations, such as vision, intraocular pressure and other measurements.
Secondly, before ophthalmic CT examination, patients need to remove contact lenses, eyedrops and other items that may affect the examination results. Therefore, the patient needs to temporarily store these items in the designated place after arriving at the hospital. This preparation process usually takes only a few minutes.
Finally, patients can wait in the preparation area, and the waiting time varies from hospital to hospital. During the waiting period, patients can read magazines, read books on their mobile phones or take a break.

After entering the CT room, the patient needs to place his head on a special head stand and keep his head stable. The doctor will adjust the CT scanner to the appropriate position under the guidance and start scanning. The whole scanning process usually takes only a few minutes, and the patient needs to keep his head still to ensure the clarity of the image.

Interpretation of results
After completing the CT scan, the doctor will present the scan results on the computer. The doctor will interpret and analyze the CT image according to the patient's condition and specific needs, and give corresponding diagnosis and treatment suggestions. This process requires communication and discussion between doctors and patients to ensure that patients understand and accept the results.
