Typically a CT kidney stone protocol takes about 30 seconds or less for the entire scan from beginning to end once you get on the table.
CT scans for kidney stones are done without any contrast media. They generally take only a few minutes.
These days CT scan are done very fast. It might take only 10 min or less in the scanner (I believe).
