I had my CAT scan today and it was trouble free. The last two times, I have had PET/CAT scans together and it is the PET scan part that takes the most time. For the CAT scan, I was off the rack after 10 - 15 minutes tops. The only downside is that when you have a CAT scan alone, you have to drink the radioactive milk stuff.
Luckily, I also got the injection in the arm which means I got to experience the warm, Bengay sensation in my crotch, sans shoulder pain. Nice. I also lucked out this time because they must have changed the electric milk recipe - this time I only had to drink half a liter as opposed to a whole liter, and it tasted a lot less like paint. So, drinking the milk wasn't the downside - its that you have to do it over a 45 minute period, and I forgot to bring a book. Its kind of lame just sitting there, sipping your milk, watching a bunch of depressed people. Next time I think I'll take my milk over to the maternity ward. People are happier there.

Kevin,
I am glad the CAT scan was relatively painless. I was thinking of you sitting in the snug tube and wishing you happy thoughts as I went to sleep last night. Now's hoping for a positive result. When will you meet with the doctor to find out how things look?
By the way, it is no wonder the stuff tastes so bad. Check out the image on the bottle, I think they might have given you the Barium Enema flavor instead of the drinkable stuff. Fortunately the stuff is single use only but in any case next time you might want to ask to make sure.
Be careful with your Danish though. I will never forget asking Mathilde for a decongestant and being sent to the pharmacy with the word for "Constipation". You should have seen the pharmacists expression when Lauren kept pointing to her nose. For a while I think he thought we were some sicko kinky couple...

Holy shit, you made me laugh, Scott! :-)
