CT SCAN-think they screwed up! HELP

I got a CT scan of my Abdomen today after 2 masses were found by Ultrasound on my liver. I am not to thrilled with how the test went. Please let me know if this is normal!

My test literally took 5 minutes once I got into the room. I drank barium before hand. When I got into the room he placed a IV. He put me through the machine for scans for literally one minute....he had me hold me breath 2 different times. Then he came into the room and Placed the dye. The machine was still pumping it into my arm when he put me through the scan again for literally a minute. I feel like it took for short of time and am hoping he got the pics needed. He said CT scans are fast and MRI's take time. I am used to CT scans taking A LOT longer then this. He said I got scanned from my chest to my hips. I am so upset!!

Do these tests really take no time at all??

Thanks!
