CECT Neck (CT Scan Neck with contrast)

CECT Neck is a diagnostic CT scan performed using intravenous contrast dye to provide enhanced visualization of the soft tissues, blood vessels, glands, airway, and lymph nodes of the neck. It is commonly used to evaluate neck tumors, abscesses, infections, vascular abnormalities, and spread of malignancy. The contrast agent improves tissue differentiation, making it especially useful when non-contrast CT findings are inconclusive. This scan is often advised for patients with persistent neck swelling, pain, difficulty swallowing, or suspected cancer. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and performed under medical supervision, with necessary precautions for contrast safety.
