4D CECT Neck is an advanced multiphase contrast-enhanced CT examination that uses time-based contrast imaging to provide detailed visualization of the neck, particularly the parathyroid glands, helping locate abnormal or enlarged glands and support accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

Yes. It may be useful in selected patients with persistent or recurrent parathyroid disease after previous surgery, where accurate localization of abnormal tissue is important for further treatment planning.
You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the examination, depending on the centre's protocol. Follow the specific preparation instructions provided by your diagnostic centre or radiology team.
Yes. Inform the team about previous reactions to iodinated contrast, kidney disease, allergies, pregnancy, medications, and other relevant medical conditions before the examination.
4D CECT Neck provides high-resolution anatomical imaging combined with time-based contrast enhancement information, which can help precisely localize abnormal parathyroid glands and support surgical planning, particularly in complex cases or when other imaging studies are inconclusive.
