CECT PROSTATE (CONTRAST)

Also Known As:

CT Prostate with Contrast

CECT Pelvis for Prostate

Contrast Enhanced Prostate Scan

Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography of the prostate is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the size, shape, and vascularity of the prostate gland. By using intravenous contrast, the scan provides enhanced detail that helps in the detection of abscesses, inflammatory conditions, or suspicious masses within the pelvic region. It is often used in conjunction with other imaging modalities to stage prostate cancer or plan radiation therapy. This procedure ensures a thorough assessment of the prostate and surrounding pelvic structures for optimal clinical management.
