Spiral CT Scan of Upper Abdomen Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of Upper Abdomen?

A Spiral CT Scan of the upper abdomen is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and advanced computer technology to capture detailed, cross-sectional images of the upper abdominal organs, including the liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and stomach. This scan is helpful for diagnosing conditions such as tumors, infections, inflammation, kidney stones, or injuries.

During the procedure, the patient lies on a table that moves through the CT scanner, which takes rapid images. A contrast dye may be used to enhance visibility.

The scan is generally painless, but risks include radiation exposure and allergic reactions to contrast agents. Results are reviewed by a radiologist for diagnosis.

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.
