CECT Sella is a diagnostic CT scan performed using intravenous contrast dye to provide enhanced visualization of the pituitary gland and surrounding sellar and parasellar structures. It is commonly used to evaluate pituitary adenomas, sellar tumors, cysts, infections, and extension of lesions into adjacent areas. The contrast agent improves differentiation between normal and abnormal tissues, making this scan useful when non-contrast CT findings are inconclusive or when MRI is contraindicated. CECT Sella helps in assessing lesion size, extent, and vascular involvement. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and performed under medical supervision with appropriate contrast safety precautions.
