About This Test
Abdomen Whole with Adrenals Protocol With Contrast CT provides a detailed, contrast-enhanced multiphase evaluation of the adrenal glands and entire abdominal organs, capturing arterial, venous, and delayed phases to assess adrenal adenomas, pheochromocytomas, hyperplasia, metastases, hemorrhage, incidentalomas, and functional tumors by analyzing enhancement and washout patterns; contrast improves differentiation between benign and malignant lesions, highlights vascular involvement, and clarifies tissue composition; the study also examines liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, bowel loops, lymph nodes, and abdominal vasculature, supporting oncology staging, endocrine disorder assessment, trauma evaluation, and pre-operative planning; this protocol is essential for patients with hormonal abnormalities, suspected adrenal masses, or cancer spread, offering high diagnostic accuracy, comprehensive cross-sectional coverage, and clear imaging that guides clinicians in selecting appropriate medical, surgical, or interventional management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Each kidney has adrenal gland, which is a hormone-producing organ. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) creates detailed image slices (cross sections) of the body using a magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
A minimum of 4-6 hours of fasting is required. You need to bring the TSH, serum creatinine and all medical reports.
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.
