Understanding CECT Scan Wrist Joint in Chennai

What is CECT Scan Wrist Joint in Chennai?

CECT Wrist Joint is a Contrast Enhanced Computerized Tomography (CECT) scan used to detect abnormalities in the wrist joints. In this diagnostic test, rotating beams of X-rays create 3-dimensional and cross-sectional clear pictures of the hand and wrist joint. A contrast media (a special dye) is injected to enhance the view and highlight the joints and underlying disorders like carpal instability, inflammation, tumors or complications of implants.

A CECT scan is used to detect fractures or unexplained pain in the wrist bone, undiagnosed through X-rays. Also, it is used to detect any infection, inflammation, injury, degeneration, or deformity of the bones, soft tissues, tendon, ligaments, or muscles of the wrist joint. Additionally, a CECT scan can also be used for operative or biopsy procedures of the wrist joint.
