Understanding CECT Scan Chest in Kolkata

What is CECT Scan Chest in Kolkata?

CECT (Contrast Enhanced Computerized Tomography) chest scan is used to create a detailed three-dimensional image of the chest or thorax to identify problems associated with the heart, lungs, food pipe, rib cage, spinal column, and surrounding soft tissues. It is a diagnostic procedure in which a contrast material is injected and rotating beams of X-rays are used.

This test is usually done to determine the cause of symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or to detect the presence of any tumors, injury to the internal organs. It also helps to detect any congenital abnormalities (birth defects) and to direct intervention procedures like fine needle biopsy. The doctor may advise this test to make a detailed assessment if abnormalities are seen in a standard X-ray of the chest.
