Everything You Need to Know About a CECT Abdomen

A Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) abdomen scan is a specialized imaging test used to examine abdominal organs and tissues in detail. CECT abdomen helps detect conditions like infections, tumors, internal injuries, kidney stones, and inflammation. The scan involves injecting a contrast dye and using a CT machine to capture cross-sectional images. Patients are usually required to fast before the scan. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects. Drinking plenty of fluids afterward helps flush out the contrast dye.
