"2010 FGI - Table 1.2-3" states sound isolation values for different space types. We don't know under which category would the tomography computerised room fall. We don't think it should fall under MRI category because TC is not a source of noise.

Personally, I find the FGI standards very weak on the different acoustic situations found in most hospitals. They further compound this by not clarifying or providing guidance to project teams wanting to address acoustics. But enough about that.
Your CT won't be as loud as a MRI machine; it also will not require a similar heavy wall / floor construction as an MRI. They are too different even though they both are in radiology. I would consider the CT to be a Treatment room.
