• • What is a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut scan?

  A CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography) chest scan is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses contrast dye to provide detailed views of the chest’s organs, blood vessels, and structures, helping detect abnormalities like tumours, infections, or vascular issues. An HRCT (High-Resolution Computed Tomography) cut is a specialised scan focused on capturing high-resolution images of the lungs, enabling precise evaluation of delicate lung structures and diseases such as fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and emphysema. Both scans use advanced CT technology to provide clear and accurate diagnostic information for chest-related conditions.

  • Why is it done?

  A CECT Chest and HRCT Cut is done for various reasons:

  1. Diagnose chest conditions such as lung infections, tumours, and interstitial lung diseases.
  2. To evaluate abnormalities in blood vessels, including pulmonary embolism or aneurysms.
  3. To assess the extent of damage in chronic lung diseases like emphysema or fibrosis.
  4. To guide treatment planning for cancers, infections, or other chest-related disorders.
  5. To monitor the effectiveness of ongoing treatments or the progression of chest conditions.

  • How to Prepare for a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut?

  Below are the following preparations required for a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut:

  1. Inform your doctor about allergies, especially to contrast dye or existing medical conditions.
  2. If contrast dye is used, fast for 4-6 hours before the scan.
  3. Remove any jewellery, metal objects, or accessories that might interfere with the imaging.
  4. Notify your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, as CT scans use radiation.
  5. Stay well-hydrated before the scan to help with contrast dye excretion afterwards.

  • What is the procedure for a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut?

  The procedure for a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut generally involves the following steps:

  1. The patient is asked to remove metal objects, change into a gown if needed, and lie on the CT scanner table.
  2. For a CECT chest scan, a contrast dye may be injected into a vein to enhance the image clarity of blood vessels and tissues.
  3. The table moves through the scanner, and the machine rotates around the chest, capturing detailed images.
  4. For an HRCT cut, the scan focuses on obtaining high-resolution lung images, often in thin slices.
  5. The patient is instructed to hold their breath briefly during certain parts of the scan to prevent motion blur.
  6. The entire procedure typically lasts 15-30 minutes, with most of the time spent on preparation and positioning.
  7. After the scan, the patient can resume normal activities unless advised otherwise, mainly if contrast dye is used.

  • What is the aftercare for a CECT Chest and HRCT Cut?

  1. If contrast dye was used, drink plenty of fluids to help flush it out of your system.
  2. Monitor for any allergic reactions, such as rash or itching, and contact your doctor if they occur.
  3. Resume normal activities and diet immediately unless otherwise advised by your healthcare provider.
  4. Avoid strenuous activities for a few hours if you feel lightheaded after the scan.
  5. Follow up with your doctor to discuss the results and any necessary further steps.
