CECT NECK/LARYNX/THYROID

₹7000

Get your CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre offering advanced Radiology and Pathology services. Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) of the neck, larynx, thyroid gland, airways, lymph nodes, blood vessels, and other soft tissues is performed by using contrast intravenously, and it provides insights into the high-resolution cross-sectional images. 

 

It is useful in the detection of abnormal conditions of the upper airways and neck region, like infections, masses, lumps, thyroid diseases, airway lesions, enlarged lymph nodes, inflammatory disorders, and many more. Our highly qualified radiologists operate with modern CT scanners to generate detailed CT images using contrast staining to promptly report the results for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

About CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck/larynx/thyroid is a high-precision imaging procedure that uses X-rays with a special dye to create detailed images of the structures of the neck. Contrast allows soft tissues, the thyroid gland, larynx, lymph nodes, blood vessels, abnormal growths, muscles, and other tissues to be seen. 

 

Thorough evaluation of the thyroid, larynx, pharynx, cervical lymph nodes, airway, salivary glands, major blood vessels, and surrounding soft tissues is performed during this scan. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, advanced CT technology allows for high-quality images with contrast in a comprehensive evaluation of complex conditions of the neck, larynx, and thyroid area.

What is a CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid?

A CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid is a non-invasive radiological examination performed using intravenous contrast. It produces detailed images of the neck, larynx, thyroid gland, and surrounding structures, enabling it to detect abnormalities that affect the soft tissues and provide special imaging for enhanced soft tissue evaluation. This is often used when a patient has a neck swelling or lump, a possible tumour, increased lymph nodes, voice change, trouble with swallowing, thyroid issues, or suspected infection.

Common Reasons for CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid

  • Evaluation of neck swelling or lumps
  • Assessment of thyroid abnormalities
  • Evaluation of suspected laryngeal or neck tumours
  • Enlarged cervical lymph nodes
  • Persistent hoarseness or voice changes
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Assessment of neck infections or abscesses
  • Evaluation of airway abnormalities
  • Pre-operative surgical planning
  • Follow-up after treatment

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours

Reporting: Within 24 hours*

  • Fasting may be required before a CECT Neck/Larynx/Thyroid scan because intravenous contrast is administered. Follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
  • Drink adequate water before and after the examination, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
  • Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes (especially if taking metformin), asthma, heart disease, thyroid disorders, or previous reactions to contrast media.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and remove necklaces, chains, earrings, watches, or other metallic objects from the neck and upper chest region.
  • Inform your doctor about any history of thyroid disease, neck surgery, thyroid surgery, laryngeal disease, neck tumour, enlarged lymph nodes, infection, airway problems, or previous treatment involving the neck region.
  • Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, ultrasound/thyroid reports, biopsy reports, blood test reports, surgical records, or other relevant medical documents, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
  • Inform the radiology team if you have difficulty lying flat, remaining still, or maintaining the required head and neck position during the examination.
  • Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully. You may be asked to hold your breath briefly and avoid swallowing during image acquisition to reduce motion artefacts.
  • Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, preparation, IV cannulation, and contrast-related assessment.
