They would be the last companion deaths until Adric in Earthshock. Later in the story, Sara Kingdom, who was introduced during this story and was played by Jean Marsh, became the second. Katarina, only introduced in the previous serial, became the first companion to die while travelling with the Doctor. This story was intertwined with Mission to the Unknown, which acted as a prologue by setting the scene and introducing characters necessary to the plot of The Daleks' Master Plan. Notably, this episode saw the Doctor break the fourth wall by turning to the camera in the closing moments and wish the viewer "a happy Christmas". Among the surviving clips include the scene of Katarina’s death that survived due to it being shown on an episode of Blue Peter in 1973 that was not junked.Īs episode seven was to air on Christmas Day, it was decided that it should be a comedic episode with little to do with the overall plot, based on the assumption that viewers would either not be watching or would not want to watch the continuation of a grim Dalek tale on this festive occasion.

Your doctor will follow-up with you to explain the results.The Daleks' Master Plan was the fourth serial of season 3 of Doctor Who.Īt twelve episodes, running five hours in total, it remains the longest undisputed Doctor Who story to date (the 14-episode Season 23 was broadcast under the single title The Trial of a Time Lord, but there is debate as to whether this should be considered one story or four interconnected stories).
A radiologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions using imaging techniques, such as CT scans and X-rays. Once the CT scan is over, the images are sent to a radiologist for examination. If a young child needs a CT scan, the doctor may recommend a sedative to keep the child from moving. Your doctor may ask you to hold your breath for a short period during the test to prevent your chest from moving up and down. It’s very important to lie still while CT images are being taken because movement can result in blurry pictures. The entire procedure may take anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour. The table will move a few millimeters at a time until the exam is finished. You may hear clicking, buzzing, and whirring noises during the scan. Each rotation produces numerous images of thin slices of your body. While the table slowly moves you into the scanner, the X-ray machine will rotate around you. You’ll be able to communicate with them via an intercom. They’ll leave the exam room and go into the control room where they can see you and hear you. Your doctor will then ask you to lie face up on a table that slides into the CT scanner. These items include jewelry, glasses, and dentures. Metal can interfere with the CT scan results. When it comes time to have the CT scan, you’ll be asked to change into a hospital gown and to remove any metal objects. If your doctor plans on using a contrast material, they may ask you to fast for four to six hours before your CT scan. Alternatively, the contrast may need to be injected into your arm or administered through your rectum via an enema. Depending on the part of your body that’s being inspected, you may need to drink a liquid containing the contrast. The contrast material blocks X-rays and appears white on the images, allowing it to highlight the intestines, blood vessels, or other structures in the area being examined. Your doctor may give you a special dye called a contrast material to help internal structures show up more clearly on the X-ray images.
