A CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography) Chest - Upper Half is an imaging technique that helps get clear images of the chest and the thorax.

It helps establish the causes behind shortness of breath, persistent cough, chest pain, and any other abnormality of the heart and the lungs.

Temporary side effects include mild itchiness or redness in the chest area. However, frequent exposure to radiation can be extremely harmful. In case of possible pregnancy, women are advised to inform the doctor before undergoing a scan.
