CECT Scan Hand near me in Howrah

A CECT Hand or Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography scan of the hand is a medical diagnostic procedure that uses a series of x-rays to produce 3-dimensional, cross-sectional images of the hand. Unusual pain, swelling, or lumps of the hand, may require a hand scan to diagnose the problem. The imaging procedure allows physicians to detect minute details of the hand that are difficult to view on a simple X-ray. Contrast materials are often injected during the scan to highlight the hand regions.

Radiation scans may temporarily cause minor side effects such as itching, headache, and skin redness. An abnormal result may indicate the presence of bone deformities, arthritis, fractures, soft muscle injury, and abnormal tissue masses. Pregnant women are advised to inform the doctor or lab technician before taking the scan.
