CT - Chest & Upper Abdomen
CT Chest & Upper Abdomen is an advanced imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the thoracic region and upper abdominal organs. It includes evaluation of the lungs, airways, mediastinum, and upper abdominal structures such as the liver, pancreas, spleen, and upper portions of the kidneys.
This scan is highly useful in diagnosing conditions such as lung infections, tumors, nodules, liver diseases, pancreatic disorders, and other abnormalities. It allows comprehensive assessment of both chest and upper abdominal regions in a single examination.
The scan may be performed with or without contrast dye depending on the clinical requirement. Contrast-enhanced imaging improves visualization of blood vessels and soft tissues, helping in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
CT Chest & Upper Abdomen is commonly used for evaluating unexplained symptoms, staging of cancers, and monitoring treatment response.
This test is recommended for individuals with:
- Persistent cough or breathing difficulty
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Upper abdominal pain
- Suspected lung or liver disease
- Unexplained weight loss
- Suspected tumors or infections
- Abnormal findings on previous imaging
