CT Abdomen – Complete in Seconds
128-slice technology covers the entire abdomen from diaphragm to pelvis in one rapid, breath-hold acquisition.
What is a CT Abdomen Scan?
A CT (Computed Tomography) Abdomen Scan is a rapid, advanced imaging procedure that uses X-rays and sophisticated computer algorithms to produce detailed cross-sectional (axial), coronal, and sagittal images of all organs within the abdominal cavity – from the diaphragm down to the hip bones.
Unlike a standard X-ray that produces a single flat image, CT captures hundreds of thin slices through the body simultaneously. Our 128-slice CT scanner acquires images at sub-millimetre resolution, enabling the radiologist to examine every structure in extraordinary detail and reconstruct true 3D images of organs and vessels.
Contrast dye (iodinated contrast) is often administered intravenously to enhance visualization of blood vessels, liver lesions, tumors, and inflammatory changes. A CT Abdomen Scan is the investigation of choice for abdominal emergencies, suspected malignancies, vascular conditions, and trauma assessment.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
You lie on a motorized table that slides through the CT scanner ring (gantry)
The X-ray tube and detectors rotate rapidly around you at 128 simultaneous detector rows
You are asked to hold your breath for 5–10 seconds during image acquisition
A computer reconstructs thousands of X-ray measurements into high-resolution cross-sections
Radiologist reviews axial, coronal, sagittal, and 3D reformatted images for diagnosis
CT Abdomen Scan – Key Clinical Advantages
Emergency Diagnosis
Speed of CT makes it ideal for acute abdominal pain, trauma, suspected perforation, and internal bleeding.
Vascular Imaging
CT angiography (CTA) clearly shows aortic aneurysms, mesenteric ischemia, and portal vein thrombosis.
Bone & Organ Together
Simultaneously visualizes solid organs, bowel, lymph nodes, and surrounding bony structures in one scan.
Cancer Staging
Gold standard for staging colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, and renal cell cancers with lymph node mapping.
Stone Detection
Detects kidney stones, gallstones, and ureteric calculi with near 100% sensitivity without contrast.
Post-Surgical Follow-Up
Assesses surgical anastomoses, drain placement, post-op complications, and residual disease.
CT Abdomen Scan – What We Detect
Our 128-slice CT system provides exceptional organ-level detail across the entire abdomen.
Liver
Detects liver cysts, hemangiomas, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metastases, liver abscess, fatty infiltration, and cirrhosis-related changes with multiphasic contrast enhancement.
Gallbladder & Bile Ducts
Identifies gallstones, acute cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps, cholangiocarcinoma, and biliary duct dilation. CT cholangiography maps biliary anatomy pre-surgery.
Pancreas
Evaluates pancreatitis severity (Balthazar score), pancreatic tumors, cystic lesions, ductal dilation, and vascular invasion for surgical resectability assessment.
Kidneys & Ureters
Detects renal stones (NCCT for urolithiasis), renal cell carcinoma, hydronephrosis, renal infarcts, and perinephric collections with high accuracy.
Spleen & Adrenal Glands
Evaluates splenic injury, infarction, lymphoma, adrenal adenomas, adrenal carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma with characteristic imaging patterns.
Bowel & Mesentery
Assesses bowel obstruction level and cause, appendicitis, diverticulitis, bowel perforation, Crohn's disease complications, and mesenteric adenopathy.
Abdominal Aorta & Vessels
CT aortography detects abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), dissection, mesenteric ischemia, portal vein thrombosis, and pre-surgical vascular mapping.
Lymph Nodes & Retroperitoneum
Identifies lymphadenopathy from lymphoma, metastases, or infection; evaluates retroperitoneal masses, fibrosis, and abdominal wall hernias.

How to Prepare for CT Abdomen Scan
Follow these instructions carefully for the clearest, most accurate scan results and to ensure your safety.
✅ Do's
- ✓Fast for 4–6 hours before the scan if contrast dye is being used (water is permitted)
- ✓Drink 2–3 glasses of plain water 1–2 hours before the scan to ensure adequate hydration
- ✓Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal zippers, hooks, or fasteners
- ✓Bring your doctor's referral letter, previous scan reports, and any recent blood test results
- ✓Inform our staff of any kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid conditions before contrast administration
- ✓Declare all known drug allergies, especially if you have had a contrast dye reaction before
- ✓Continue prescribed medications with a small sip of water unless specifically told otherwise
- ✓Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment for registration and preparation
❌ Don'ts
- ✕Do not eat solid food for 4–6 hours before a contrast CT scan
- ✕Do not take Metformin (diabetes medication) on the day of and 48 hours after contrast CT – consult your doctor
- ✕Do not wear jewelry, belts, underwired bras, or clothing with metallic elements
- ✕Do not withhold information about kidney problems – contrast dye can affect kidney function
- ✕Do not take oral contrast (barium) if specifically instructed not to for your scan type
- ✕Do not move or breathe during the scan when instructed to hold your breath
- ✕Do not ignore signs of contrast allergy during or after the scan (rash, difficulty breathing – tell staff immediately)
CT Abdomen Scan Procedure
From the moment you arrive to the time your report is delivered – here's what to expect.
Registration & Pre-Scan Check-in
Our front desk team registers your details and verifies your referral and ID. You'll be asked about allergies, kidney function, diabetes medications, and pregnancy status. This typically takes 5–10 minutes and ensures your scan is performed safely and appropriately.
Changing & IV Cannula Placement
You'll be provided a gown if required. For contrast CT scans, our trained nurse places a small IV cannula (usually in the arm vein) for contrast dye injection. The cannula is thin, and discomfort is minimal. You can ask questions at this point – our team is happy to reassure you.
Positioning on the CT Table
You'll lie flat on your back on the comfortable, padded CT table with arms typically raised above your head (to reduce artifact). Our technician ensures you are correctly positioned and comfortable. Supportive cushions or straps may be used if needed.
Contrast Injection (if required)
For most abdominal CT scans, iodinated contrast dye is injected rapidly via the IV cannula using an automatic injector. You may feel a warm, flushing sensation throughout your body and a brief metallic taste in your mouth – this is completely normal and passes within 30–60 seconds.
The CT Scan – Breath-Hold & Imaging
The table smoothly slides through the CT gantry ring. An automated voice will instruct you to "breathe in, breathe out, and hold your breath." The actual scan takes only 5–10 seconds per phase. Multiple phases (pre-contrast, arterial, venous, delayed) may be acquired depending on your clinical indication. You remain fully conscious throughout.
Post-Scan Care & Report Delivery
After the scan, the cannula is removed and you can resume normal activities immediately. If contrast was given, we recommend drinking extra water to help flush it from your system. A senior abdominal radiologist analyzes your images and prepares a detailed written report same day – delivered via WhatsApp, email, or in print from any branch.
