CECT FISTULOGRAM
₹3500
Book your CECT Fistulogram at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre providing advanced Radiology services. A special X-ray technique called Continuous Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) Fistulogram is used to take detailed cross-sectional images of the fistulous tract with the fistulous opening, the external opening, surrounding soft tissues, and collections of tissues with contrast. The examination enables doctors to make an accurate diagnosis of the extent and course of a fistula, identify abscesses or collections, and aid in the treatment and surgery planning. Our highly qualified and experienced radiologists use cutting-edge CT scanners to produce detailed images, providing timely reports and ensuring accurate diagnoses and successful treatment planning.
About CECT Fistulogram
A CECT Fistulogram is a specialized imaging test that evaluates a fistulous tract or unusual passage between two surfaces or organs. Contrast enhancement is useful to highlight the degree of inflammation, collections, and surrounding soft tissue involvement.
This exam offers a detailed visualization of the fistulous tract, surrounding anatomical structures, or adjacent muscles and soft tissues, along with abscesses and collections. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employs state-of-the-art CT imaging technology to produce clear images for thorough diagnosis and evaluation of complex fistulous disease.
What is a CECT Fistulogram?
CECT Fistulogram refers to a special CT scan that is ordered to provide a detailed map of the anatomy of the fistular area and determine the extent of the fistula and any complications. Contrast is given by a suitable route to aid visualization of the fistulous tract, depending on location and clinical need.
Such a scan is helpful in the following situations: In patients who have enduring discharge; in patients who have recurrent abscesses; before surgery if detailed anatomical mapping is needed; if a complex fistula is suspected.
Common Reasons for CECT Fistulogram
- Evaluation of a suspected fistula
- Persistent or recurrent discharge from an abnormal opening
- Recurrent abscess or collection
- Assessment of complex or branching fistulous tracts
- Identification of the internal and external openings
- Evaluation of surrounding inflammation or infection
- Pre-operative fistula mapping
- Follow-up after fistula treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Fistulous Tracts
Helps identify the course, extent, branching, and anatomical relationships of a fistulous tract.
Abscesses and Collections
Detects associated fluid collections, abscesses, and inflammatory changes.
Recurrent Fistula
Helps assess persistent or recurrent fistulous disease after previous treatment or surgery.
Surrounding Soft Tissue Involvement
Evaluates inflammation and infection involving adjacent muscles and soft tissues.
Complex Fistulous Disease
Provides detailed anatomical mapping of complex or multiple fistulous tracts to assist surgical planning.
Post-Treatment Changes
Helps evaluate healing and detect residual or recurrent fistulous disease following treatment.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
- Have persistent discharge from an abnormal opening
- Have recurrent swelling or abscess formation
- Have a suspected complex fistula
- Have recurrent fistula after previous surgery
- Require detailed mapping before surgical treatment
- Need follow-up imaging after fistula treatment
