Triple phase whole Abdomen with Volumetry (Liver Donor Protocol) with contrast
Also Known As:
ct volumetry scan
About This Test
The Triple Phase Whole Abdomen CT with Volumetry (Liver Donor Protocol) with contrast is a specialized imaging study designed for comprehensive assessment of the liver and surrounding abdominal structures. This study uses three phases of contrast enhancement—arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases—to provide detailed visualization of the liver parenchyma, hepatic vasculature, bile ducts, and adjacent organs. Volumetric analysis allows precise measurement of liver segments, which is essential in evaluating living liver donors to ensure adequate graft volume and safe surgical planning. The contrast-enhanced study also assesses the spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and major vessels for any anatomical variations or incidental findings. This high-resolution, multiphase scan helps detect lesions, vascular anomalies, and subtle parenchymal changes with accuracy. By providing detailed anatomical and functional information, this study plays a critical role in preoperative planning, optimizing donor safety, and ensuring successful liver transplantation outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-CT scan uses X rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
condition.
condition.
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.
