FAQs

Can it detect blockage or narrowing of cerebral veins?

Yes. CT venography can help identify venous stenosis, occlusion, or impaired venous drainage and assess the affected venous structures.

Can it be used in the evaluation of stroke-like symptoms?

Yes, in selected cases. Venography may be included when clinicians need to determine whether cerebral venous thrombosis or another venous abnormality is contributing to neurological symptoms.

Is contrast used during CECT Venography Brain?

Yes. Intravenous iodinated contrast is administered to opacify the cerebral veins and venous sinuses and improve detection of venous abnormalities.

Do I need any preparation before CECT Venography Brain?

Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. You may be asked to fast for a specified period before contrast administration. Kidney-function assessment may also be recommended when clinically appropriate.
