CECT UROGRAPHY

What is CECT Urography?

CECT (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) urography is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that creates a detailed image of the urinary tract. Our urinary tract is also known as the renal system and includes kidney, bladder, ureter, and urethra. This diagnostic procedure is recommended by the doctor to diagnose kidney-related disease or urinary tract-related disease.

CT urography creates a detailed image by using X-ray and computer technology. During this technique, a contrast is also injected into the body through a vein in your arm. This contrast dye then flows through the kidney and other parts of the urinary tract and highlights all the structures present in the tract, so many X-ray pictures are taken during this time so that the doctor can examine the body part properly, and based on that, well informed clinical decision can be made

Why do I need to take CECT Urography?

CECT Urography is recommended for many reasons; some common reasons are listed below:

• To diagnose bladder or kidney stones

How do I prepare for a CECT Urography?
