Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography
CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography) is an advanced imaging technique that involves the injection of a special contrast dye to highlight blood vessels and enhance the visibility of organs and tissues.
This allows for more precise detection and characterization of abnormalities such as tumors, infections, inflammation, and vascular conditions. By providing detailed, high-resolution images, CECT helps clinicians make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans for a wide range of medical conditions.
CT Brain Angiography
A contrast-enhanced scan that visualizes the blood vessels in the brain.
Used to detect aneurysms, vascular malformations, or blockages.
Helps guide treatment for stroke or other cerebrovascular conditions.
CECT Neck
Provides detailed images of neck tissues, lymph nodes, and blood vessels with contrast.
Useful in diagnosing infections, tumors, and vascular abnormalities.
Assists in cancer staging and surgical planning.
CECT Chest
Enhanced imaging of lungs, heart, and chest blood vessels.
Detects tumors, infections, pulmonary embolism, and vascular diseases.
Aids in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
CT Pulmonary Angiography
Specifically visualizes pulmonary arteries with contrast dye.
Gold standard for detecting pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lungs).
Provides detailed assessment of lung circulation and heart function.
CT Peripheral Angiography (Upper/Lower Limbs)
Visualizes blood vessels in arms or legs using contrast enhancement.
Detects arterial blockages, aneurysms, or vascular malformations.
Helps plan interventions like angioplasty or surgery.
CECT Abdomen and Pelvis
Detailed contrast-enhanced imaging of abdominal and pelvic organs.
Used to diagnose tumors, infections, inflammations, and vascular issues.
Crucial for cancer detection, staging, and treatment monitoring.
Triphasic CT
A specialized scan capturing images in three phases after contrast injection: arterial, venous, and delayed.
Provides comprehensive evaluation of liver, kidneys, and other organs.
Helps differentiate benign from malignant lesions and assess vascularity.
CT Cisternography
A contrast-enhanced scan of the cerebrospinal fluid spaces around the brain and spinal cord.
Used to detect CSF leaks or evaluate conditions like hydrocephalus.
Provides detailed imaging of brain ventricles and subarachnoid spaces.
