CECT Chest - Upper Half near me in Thane

A CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography) Chest - Upper Half is an imaging technique that helps get clear images of the chest and the thorax. A contrast material, or dye, is injected into the veins, and the rotating beams of an X-ray are used to obtain precise images of the internal organs. This procedure helps detect infections and inflammation of the heart, lungs, food pipe, and any rib cage or spine injury. 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.
