CT SCAN OF TRIPHASIC ABDOMEN

About CT SCAN OF TRIPHASIC ABDOMEN

CT SCAN OF TRIPHASIC ABDOMEN is a computed tomography (CT) study offered through the MedVocs diagnostics network. CT combines X-rays with computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of bones, organs, and blood vessels within seconds.

It is one of the fastest ways to evaluate injuries, infections, stones, tumours, and vascular conditions, and is reported by an experienced radiologist with digital delivery of images and report.

• Bring your doctor's referral and any earlier imaging for comparison.
• Fasting of 3–4 hours is usually advised before a contrast CT; plain water is generally allowed. A recent creatinine/eGFR report may be required.
• Inform the team of any allergy to contrast/iodine, asthma, kidney disease, diabetes medication (e.g., metformin), or previous contrast reactions.
• Remove metal objects from the area being scanned; wear comfortable clothing.

1. 1

   You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner while images are captured — most scans finish within 5–10 minutes.

2. 2

   For contrast studies, an iodinated dye is injected through a vein; a brief warm sensation is normal.

3. 3

   The scan is painless, and you can resume normal activities immediately after (drink extra fluids if contrast was used).

Scanning takes only minutes. Reports are typically ready the same day or within 24 hours; emergency scans are reported on priority.

• CT uses ionising radiation — it is performed only when medically justified, and pregnancy must be declared beforehand.
• Contrast is used cautiously with kidney impairment, allergies, or certain diabetes medications — share your full medical history.
• Hydrate well after a contrast scan to help flush the dye.
• Carry previous reports so the radiologist can compare and avoid repeat imaging.
