Book your CT Gastrography at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre that offers advanced diagnostic services. The specialised CT scan used to examine the stomach and the surrounding gastrointestinal tissues is called CT gastrography. This scan gives information on the stomach wall, the inside of the stomach, and surrounding organs as well as the surrounding tissues. Our experienced radiology professionals follow suitable imaging protocols to obtain detailed anatomical information for diagnosis and further clinical management.
About CT Gastrography
Computed tomography (CT) Gastrography is a specialized computed tomography examination that takes a cross-sectional image of the stomach and upper GI region. It is useful in the assessment of abnormalities related to the stomach wall, adjacent abdominal structures, and surrounding tissues. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses advanced CT technology to get multiple detailed images from various parts of the abdomen. These projections are reformatted in a variety of planes and assist the radiologist in assessing the surrounding structures and stomach.
What is a CT Gastrography?
A CT gastrography is a CT scan of the stomach that takes place after thorough preparation and inflation of the stomach. Depending on the exam and the need, the patient has to consume the contrast orally or another contrast before the scan. The resultant images aid the radiologist in assessing the stomach wall, lumen, surrounding tissues, and other abdominal structures.
Common Reasons for CT Gastrography
- Evaluation of suspected stomach abnormalities
- Assessment of stomach wall thickening
- Evaluation of suspected gastric masses or lesions
- Assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms when detailed imaging is required
- Evaluation of suspected inflammation or other structural abnormalities
- Assessment of surrounding abdominal structures
- Further evaluation of findings seen on other investigations
- Pre-treatment or treatment planning when clinically indicated
- Follow-up evaluation of known gastric abnormalities
Conditions Evaluated
Gastric Masses and Lesions
CT Gastrography can provide detailed anatomical information about suspected masses or lesions involving the stomach.
Stomach Wall Abnormalities
The examination can help assess changes in the thickness, contour, and appearance of the stomach wall.
Gastric Tumours
CT imaging may assist in evaluating suspected gastric tumours and assessing their extent and relationship with surrounding structures.
Inflammatory Changes
The examination may help identify structural changes associated with certain inflammatory conditions affecting the stomach.
Surrounding Abdominal Structures
CT images can also provide information about nearby organs, tissues, and lymph nodes when included in the examination field.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend a CT Gastrography if you:
- Have persistent gastrointestinal symptoms requiring detailed imaging
- Have a suspected abnormality involving the stomach
- Have an abnormal finding on endoscopy or another imaging examination
- Require evaluation of a suspected gastric mass or lesion
- Need assessment of stomach wall abnormalities
- Require further evaluation or follow-up of a known gastric condition
