CECT Brain/Pituitary is a contrast-enhanced CT examination that provides detailed imaging of the brain and pituitary region to evaluate selected pituitary and sellar abnormalities, masses, skull-base changes, and postoperative findings, supporting diagnosis and treatment planning when CT assessment is clinically indicated.
Disclaimer: Result availability is subject to the laboratory's schedule and test availability.
CT can demonstrate larger pituitary or sellar masses and associated bony changes, but MRI provides greater soft-tissue detail and is generally preferred for detailed evaluation of suspected pituitary disease.
Contrast-enhanced CT can help identify brain masses or tumors and associated structural changes. MRI is generally more sensitive for detailed characterization of many brain lesions.
Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. When intravenous contrast is planned, you may be asked to fast for a specified period before the examination. Follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic centre.
