CT Contrast for Joint / Extremity

CT Contrast for Joint / Extremity is a specialized CT scan performed using contrast dye, either injected into the joint (CT arthrogram) or intravenously, to enhance visualization of joint spaces, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. It is commonly used to evaluate joint injuries, ligament tears, cartilage damage, loose bodies, infections, tumors, and post-surgical complications. This technique provides detailed images that help in accurate diagnosis when standard CT or MRI findings are inconclusive or contraindicated. CT contrast studies are particularly useful for shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and wrist joints. The procedure is performed under medical supervision with appropriate safety precautions.
