About This Test
The 4D Parathyroid CT scan is a specialized dynamic imaging study used to detect parathyroid adenomas or hyperactive glands. “4D” refers to the three spatial dimensions combined with time-based contrast enhancement, allowing visualization of blood-flow patterns. This helps distinguish abnormal parathyroid tissue from surrounding structures. The scan is valuable for patients with hyperparathyroidism, elevated calcium levels, or failed previous localization attempts. It provides highly accurate mapping before minimally invasive parathyroid surgery. As this option includes only scan charges, consumables or contrast materials may not be part of the package. Multiple phases are acquired to study wash-in and wash-out patterns of suspected glands. The technique improves surgical success by giving precise localization, even for ectopic or deep-seated glands. It is especially beneficial when ultrasound or sestamibi scans are inconclu
Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-A lower abdomen CT typically includes:
Lower intestines (small & large bowel)
Appendix
Urinary bladder
Ureters
Reproductive organs
In females: uterus, ovaries
In males: prostate

Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
During CECT lower abdomen scan patients have to fast for 4-6 hours before the scan.
Remove all metallic objects, jewellery, hair clips, eyeglasses, dentures, metal underwire bras and hearing aids.
Inform your doctor if the patient has any medical history, pregnant or suspects that the patient might be pregnant, and has any past allergic reaction to the contrast media.
Patients need recent creatinine and urea test reports to examine kidney function so that contrast media is eliminated safely.

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.
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.
