CECT HEAD (CONTRAST)

Also Known As:

Enhanced CT Head

CECT Cranium

CECT Head is a contrast-enhanced CT scan used to evaluate tumors, infections, vascular abnormalities, edema, and detailed brain anatomy. The contrast dye highlights blood vessels and abnormal tissues, improving detection of lesions, abscesses, metastasis, and inflammatory changes. It is commonly performed after a non-contrast CT when more clarity is needed.
