Also Known As:

CECT 4D parathyroid

The 4D Parathyroid Contrast CT scan is a dynamic multiphase contrast-enhanced imaging technique designed to identify parathyroid adenomas, hyperplasias, or ectopic glands with very high accuracy. Using time-based enhancement patterns, the scan differentiates abnormal parathyroid tissue from thyroid tissue, lymph nodes, and vascular structures. The study includes contrast administration, allowing clear visualization of arterial, venous, and delayed phases. It is typically advised for patients with primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, persistent high calcium levels, and for pre-operative localization before minimally invasive parathyroid surgery. By evaluating enhancement characteristics, radiologists can pinpoint the exact gland responsible for hormone overproduction. This improves surgical success rates and reduces operative time. The 4D scan is extremely useful when ultrasound or sestamibi tests give unclear results. It offers superior detail for deep, retrosternal, or atypical gland locations.

General instructions For  All CT

  •      Bring old records- text reports, films, CD.
  •      Please rule out pregnency as it is a contraindication.
  •      Appointment is desirable.
  •      Pl remove jewellery at home for safety purpose. 
  •      For plain CT : No fasting and no creatinine / eGFR blood test required. 
  •      For Contrast CT : Need 4hrs fasting and eGFR blood test report (done within 30 days).
  •      For Pregnant patient - Risk-benefit assessment. Look for any alternative test with no radiation. 
         Bring Photocopy of doctor precription & photo ID proof (Aadhar card, Voter id & driving licence) for PNDT requirements.

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
