You would probably get a CAT scan , which is a type of X-ray.

I did not stay at a Holiday Inn and am not an expert although I have had both procedures .

CAT scans are noisy, think a loud industrial noise , the scanner is spinning and the table slowly travels through the scanner , a big donut . Cah Chunk cah chunk cah chunk and then the scanner “energizes “ and emits another industrial sound. If you are familiar with the group Kraftwerk’s music , you’ll be okay.
Some people have issues concerning the noise, the amount of time the process takes, or are claustrophobic.

Whole body x-ray first? Metal detector?
