About CT Neck - Plain
A CT Neck - Plain is a diagnostic imaging procedure that requires X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the neck without the use of an IV injection of contrast. It offers a very good visualization of the cervical vertebrae, the airway, the larynx, the pharynx, the salivary glands, the thyroid gland, the lymph nodes, the soft tissues, and also the surrounding bony structures. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses state-of-the-art computerized tomography (CT) imaging to produce superior images in order to support the physician's assessment of many neck diseases.
What is a CT Neck - Plain?
A CT Neck - Plain is an imaging scan without IV dye. It provides greater detail of the neck and enables doctors to assess if the neck has been injured, whether there are abnormalities in its structure, or whether there is an infection, enlarged lymph nodes, or other conditions relating to the neck. This is a standard scan procedure when a person has continued neck pain, swelling, trauma, or has had other imaging tests performed, such as an examination that the doctor suspects might indicate some abnormalities.

CT Neck - Plain जांच के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा गले की चेन, कान की बालियां, डेंचर (यदि सलाह दी जाए), हियरिंग एड, हेयरपिन, चश्मा और सिर एवं गर्दन के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आपकी गर्दन की सर्जरी, सर्वाइकल स्पाइन इम्प्लांट, थायरॉइड सर्जरी, ट्रेकियोस्टॉमी या गर्दन में पहले कोई गंभीर चोट लगी हो, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Scan, MRI रिपोर्ट, X-ray, Ultrasound रिपोर्ट, ENT विशेषज्ञ की रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपको सीधे लेटने, निगलने या कुछ समय तक स्थिर रहने में कठिनाई होती है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और स्पष्ट एवं सटीक इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए अनावश्यक रूप से गर्दन न हिलाएं और निगलने से बचें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with the head and neck properly aligned for accurate imaging.
The scan is performed without intravenous (IV) contrast, making it a non-invasive examination for evaluating the neck structures.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution cross-sectional images of the cervical vertebrae, airway, larynx, pharynx, thyroid gland, salivary glands, lymph nodes, soft tissues, and surrounding bony structures.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still and may be asked to avoid swallowing briefly during image acquisition to prevent motion artefacts.
The examination helps evaluate neck injuries, fractures, enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid enlargement, congenital abnormalities, airway disorders, neck masses, and post-surgical or post-traumatic changes.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully reviews the images to assess the neck anatomy, structural abnormalities, and any pathological findings, helping guide appropriate treatment.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
