About This Test
Abdomen Whole with Hernia Protocol (Scan Charges Only) provides specialized CT imaging focused on identifying and evaluating abdominal wall, inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and internal hernias without including consumables, offering high-resolution image acquisition that shows hernia sacs, bowel loops, fat protrusion, fascial defects, strangulation, obstruction, vascular compromise, inflammation, and post-surgical complications; the protocol captures detailed cross-sectional views of the entire abdomen, enabling assessment of bowel viability, perfusion patterns, fluid collections, abscess formation, adhesions, and hernia recurrence; it also includes full organ evaluation of liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, lymph nodes, pelvis, and abdominal vasculature, supporting comprehensive diagnosis; this scan is crucial for emergency cases, surgical planning, pre-operative mapping, and long-term monitoring of complex or recurrent hernias, helping clinicians make accurate treatment decisions with clear anatomical visualization and reliable diagnostic detail.

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.
