CECT Abdomen Procedure Explained: Benefits and Preparation

A Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) abdomen scan is a medical imaging test used to get detailed pictures of abdominal organs.
The cect abdomen procedure involves injecting a contrast dye orally or intravenously to enhance visibility of structures like the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines.
It helps detect infections, tumors, kidney stones, and internal injuries.
Patients must fast for 4–6 hours prior.
The procedure is safe, quick (15–30 minutes), and usually painless, with minimal risk of side effects.
