What is a CECT Right Hip Joint?

A CECT (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) Right Hip Joint scan is a specialized imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to generate detailed images of the right hip joint’s bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. This advanced technique helps in identifying abnormalities and injuries, such as fractures, arthritis, joint dislocations, or infections.
