FAQs

Can it detect venous blockage or narrowing?

Yes. It can demonstrate venous stenosis, occlusion, compression, or impaired venous drainage and show the anatomical extent of the abnormality.

Do I need any preparation before CECT Venography?

Preparation depends on the imaging centre's protocol. You may be asked to fast for a specified period, particularly when intravenous contrast is planned.

Should I inform the radiology team about kidney disease or previous contrast reactions?

Yes. Inform the medical team about kidney disease, previous reactions to iodinated contrast, allergies, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and other relevant medical conditions before contrast administration. Kidney-function assessment may be recommended when clinically appropriate.

What are the advantages of CECT Venography Single Upper Limb?

It provides detailed cross-sectional visualization of the venous system of one upper limb, helping evaluate DVT, venous obstruction, narrowing, thrombosis, compression, collateral circulation, and other venous abnormalities and providing additional anatomical information when ultrasound is insufficient or further assessment is clinically required.
