Spiral CT Scan of Adrenal Glands Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of Adrenal Glands?

A spiral CT scan of the adrenal glands is a specialized imaging procedure that uses a continuous X-ray beam to obtain detailed cross-sectional images of the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. The ""spiral"" or ""helical"" nature of the scan allows for quick, high-resolution images, often with contrast dye injected into a vein to enhance visibility of the glands and surrounding structures.

This scan is commonly used to detect adrenal tumors, cysts, enlargement, bleeding, or conditions like pheochromocytoma or adrenal hyperplasia. It helps healthcare providers diagnose adrenal gland disorders and plan appropriate treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
