About CECT Whole Abdomen
The CT scan whole abdomen is a special type of CT scan that takes detailed cross-sectional images of the entire abdomen with intravenous injection of a special dye. It gives a good visualization of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands, stomach, small and large intestine, urinary bladder, lymph nodes, major abdominal vessels, soft tissue surrounding the aorta and adjacent organs. The Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is equipped with the latest CT scanners, which enable the physicians to precisely determine different abdominal disorders.
What is CECT Whole Abdomen?
CECT Whole Abdomen (Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography) is an X-ray-based procedure called computed tomography (CT scan) done after injecting the patient with a special X-ray dye to obtain detailed information and images of the blood vessels and organs of the abdomen. It makes soft tissues, organs, and vascular structures easier to detect, thereby assisting the physician with detection of abnormalities not visible by computed tomography scan alone. This examination is the study of first choice in patients with chronic abdominal pain, suspected malignancy, infection/suspected inflammatory disease, vascular diseases, abdominal trauma, and before surgical interventions.

The contrast material will be injected during the scan. You may experience a temporary warm sensation or a metallic taste, which usually resolves within a few minutes.
The radiographer will position you correctly, and the table will move slowly through the CT scanner while detailed images of the abdomen are obtained.
You may be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds during image acquisition to improve image quality.
The scan is painless and usually takes 10–20 minutes.
The IV cannula will be removed after the scan unless additional medical care is required.
The images are reviewed by an experienced radiologist, and reports are generally available within 4 hours.
