About This Test
Abdomen Upper Plain CT offers non-contrast imaging of organs such as the liver, pancreas, spleen, stomach, kidneys, adrenal glands, and upper bowel segments, providing rapid assessment for abdominal pain, trauma, kidney stones, pancreatic calcifications, liver abnormalities, baseline tumor evaluation, and detection of free air or hemorrhage without the need for contrast material; it is especially useful for patients with contrast allergy or renal impairment; the scan identifies structural changes, fatty liver, organ enlargement, gallstones, renal stones, and intestinal pathology, offering a foundation for further diagnostic steps; with fast image acquisition, clear anatomical detail, and wide clinical applicability, this plain CT serves as an essential diagnostic tool in both emergency and routine settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
CECT Upper Abdomen is a contrast-enhanced computer tomography study of the upper abdomen to visualise the internal organs of the upper abdomen and their disease condition.
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
Ans Before, the procedure patient needs to remove the jewellery and other metal items that can influence the results of the report.
Ans 4-6 hours of fasting is required for the scan. You may be given an oral contrast before the scan. If the oral contrast is given to you then you need to wait for 60-90 minutes and then you need to lie supine on a table.
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.
