CECT Abdomen Preparation: What You Need to Know

A Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) abdomen scan provides detailed imaging of internal organs using contrast dye. CECT abdomen preparation involves fasting for 4–6 hours prior to the scan and removing metal accessories like jewelry. Patients should inform their doctor about allergies, ongoing medications, or pregnancy. Blood tests such as creatinine and urea may be required to assess kidney function for safe dye elimination. Proper preparation ensures clear imaging results and reduces risk, helping doctors make accurate diagnoses.
