Spiral CT Scan of Kidnys Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of Kidnys?

A Spiral CT Scan of the Kidneys is an imaging procedure that uses X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the kidneys and surrounding structures. It is commonly used to diagnose kidney stones, tumors, cysts, infections, or other abnormalities.

During the scan, you lie on a table, and the CT machine rotates around your body, capturing multiple images. Preparation may include fasting for a few hours and removing jewelry.

If contrast dye is used, it will be injected to enhance image clarity. Risks include radiation exposure and possible allergic reactions to the contrast.

The results provide vital information to guide treatment or surgery decisions.

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.
