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

जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा दिए गए विशेष तैयारी संबंधी निर्देशों का पालन करें।
जांच की प्रक्रिया के अनुसार सीटी गैस्ट्रोग्राफी से पहले खाली पेट रहने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।
जांच से पहले आपको डॉक्टर या जांच टीम के निर्देशानुसार मुंह के माध्यम से कंट्रास्ट या अन्य उपयुक्त तैयारी लेने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
किसी भी ज्ञात एलर्जी या कंट्रास्ट माध्यम से पहले हुई प्रतिक्रिया के बारे में चिकित्सा टीम को बताएं।
यदि आपको गुर्दे की बीमारी, मधुमेह, पाचन तंत्र से संबंधित बीमारी या कोई अन्य महत्वपूर्ण चिकित्सकीय समस्या है, तो डॉक्टर को इसकी जानकारी दें।
वर्तमान में ली जा रही सभी दवाओं और चल रहे उपचार के बारे में चिकित्सा टीम को बताएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, गर्भधारण की योजना बना रही हैं या गर्भधारण की संभावना है, तो टीम को इसकी जानकारी दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली एंडोस्कोपी, सीटी स्कैन, अल्ट्रासाउंड, एक्स-रे या अन्य पाचन तंत्र से संबंधित जांच रिपोर्ट साथ लाएं।
पेट की तैयारी तथा मुंह से दी जाने वाली तैयारी की मात्रा और समय के संबंध में जांच टीम के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें और जांच से पहले धातु की वस्तुएं या आभूषण हटा दें।
The patient’s symptoms, medical history, previous gastrointestinal investigations, current medicines, and reason for the examination are reviewed.
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT examination table.
Depending on the examination protocol, the patient may be asked to consume an appropriate oral preparation to help improve visualisation of the stomach and gastrointestinal region.
The stomach may be prepared or distended according to the specific CT Gastrography protocol to provide better assessment of the stomach wall and lumen.
If intravenous contrast is required, it is administered by a trained healthcare professional after appropriate safety assessment.
CT images are acquired to provide detailed cross-sectional views of the stomach, stomach wall, lumen, and surrounding abdominal structures.
The images are reconstructed in different planes when required to provide a more comprehensive anatomical assessment.
The examination may help evaluate stomach wall thickening, masses, lesions, inflammatory changes, and other structural abnormalities.
Nearby abdominal organs, tissues, and lymph nodes within the examination field may also be assessed.
The images are reviewed by the radiologist and correlated with symptoms, previous investigations, and other relevant clinical information.
