CT GUIDED ASCITIC TAP (DIAGNOSTIC)

Also Known As:

CT Guided Paracentesis Diagnostic

Abdominal Fluid Analysis CT Guided

Diagnostic Ascites Tap

This Diagnostic CT Guided Ascitic Tap involves the removal of a small amount of abdominal fluid for medical testing and evaluation. CT imaging is used to identify the safest entry point and ensure the needle reaches the fluid collection accurately. The aspirated fluid is analyzed to diagnose the underlying cause of the ascites, such as liver disease or inflammatory processes. This targeted approach provides high-quality samples while prioritizing patient comfort and safety through precise visualization techniques.

Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

Needle aspiration of a small abdominal fluid sample under CT guidance.

Purpose

To diagnose the cause of ascites (e.g., cirrhosis, malignancy, or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).
