About This Test
Abdomen Upper with Lower Chest Contrast CT delivers enhanced visualization of both abdominal and lower chest structures using intravenous contrast to highlight organs, blood vessels, inflammatory changes, tumors, infections, and trauma, enabling detailed evaluation of liver lesions, pancreatic pathology, splenic infarcts, vascular abnormalities, lung base nodules, pleural disease, diaphragmatic defects, and metastasis; contrast helps differentiate soft tissue structures, detect early disease, and identify active inflammation or vascular compromise; this combined study is ideal for cancer staging, acute abdominal pain with thoracic extension, trauma screening, and post-operative follow-up, providing high-clarity multiphase imaging that improves diagnostic confidence and helps clinicians plan targeted treatment or surgical interventions effectively.
