About This Test
NCCT (Non-Contrast CT) Neck with Carotid Angiography is a specialized imaging study used to evaluate the neck structures and carotid arteries. The NCCT provides detailed visualization of bones, soft tissues, and airway structures, while the angiography component specifically assesses the carotid arteries for blockages, narrowing, aneurysms, or other vascular abnormalities. This study is commonly performed in patients with suspected stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), carotid artery disease, neck trauma, or unexplained neurological symptoms. “Scan Charges Only” indicates that the cost applies solely to the scanning procedure, excluding contrast material or additional consumables. The combined study offers high-resolution images to identify structural and vascular abnormalities simultaneously, aiding in accurate diagnosis and risk assessment. By providing comprehensive information about both the cervical anatomy and vascular health, NCCT Neck with Carotid Angiography supports timely medical or surgical intervention, improving patient management and outcomes.

condition.
condition.
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
