Test Code

CT Sella (NCCT Sella) is a CT scan performed without contrast to evaluate the sella turcica, which houses the pituitary gland. It is commonly used to assess pituitary enlargement, sellar and parasellar masses, bone erosion, calcifications, and congenital abnormalities. This scan is helpful in detecting pituitary adenomas with bony changes and conditions affecting the sellar region. NCCT Sella provides clear visualization of bony anatomy and surrounding structures, making it useful when MRI is unavailable or contraindicated. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and involves controlled radiation exposure when clinically indicated.
