About CECT Upper Abdomen
CECT of the Upper Abdomen is a CT scan procedure, performed with intravenous (IV) contrast medium to get detailed cross-sectional images of the upper abdomen. It is a great machine for viewing the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, upper gut, etc., and the surrounding soft tissues and major blood vessels of the abdomen. With advanced CT (computed tomography) scans at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, doctors can get detailed imaging that helps them to accurately diagnose the condition of a multitude of upper abdominal malignancies.
What is CECT Upper Abdomen?
An abdominal computed tomography scan (CT) is an X-ray image of the inner structures of the upper abdomen using a special dye injected into a vein (via IV). This may help a doctor detect any disease that may not necessarily show on a traditional computed tomography (CT) scan and make blood vessels, organs, and any abnormal tissues easier to see. This is frequently ordered for someone who is experiencing regular pain in the upper abdomen, or it is highly used for the person to be assessed before surgery if they have suspected tumours in their tummy, suspected infection, inflammatory conditions, suspected blood vessel disorders, or if the person is to be assessed before a procedure.
