• Fasting Requirements: You must fast (abstain from solid foods and colored liquids) for at least 4 to 6 hours before your appointment. This is a safety measure for the administration of the intravenous contrast; plain water is permitted.
• Kidney Function Test (Serum Creatinine): A recent serum creatinine test report (usually within the last 30 days) is mandatory. Because the contrast dye is processed and eliminated by the kidneys, we must ensure your renal function is sufficient to clear the dye safely.
• Allergy Disclosure: Please inform the Scan4Health team if you have a known iodine allergy or have previously experienced a reaction to contrast media.
• Remove Metal Objects: You will be asked to remove jewelry, leg braces with metal hinges, or clothing with metal zippers from the leg area, as metal causes artifacts that can obscure the fine details of the bone and vessels.
• Medication Review: Inform our clinical staff if you are taking Metformin for diabetes. You may be advised to pause this medication for 48 hours following the contrast injection.
• Post-Scan Hydration: Plan to drink 8–10 glasses of water over 24 hours after the test to help your kidneys efficiently flush the contrast agent from your system.

The CE CT Leg Right at Scan4Health Gurgaon is a powerful tool used when clinical symptoms require a level of detail that exceeds routine X-rays:

Key clinical uses include:

• Vascular Evaluation: Contrast imaging allows visualization of the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. This is crucial for detecting arterial narrowing, blockages, or vascular malformations in the calf.
• Tumor and Mass Characterization: If a growth or lump is identified in the muscles or soft tissues of the leg, the contrast enhancement pattern helps radiologists determine if the lesion is a benign cyst or a more vascular tumor.
• Infection and Abscess Detection: The scan is highly sensitive for identifying deep-seated infections (cellulitis or abscesses) or bone infections (osteomyelitis) by highlighting inflammatory borders.
• Compartment Syndrome Assessment: In cases of severe trauma, the scan helps evaluate muscle health and identifies active bleeding or localized fluid buildup that could threaten limb viability.
• Pre-Surgical Blueprinting: For complex reconstructive surgeries or vascular grafting, this scan provides a 3D blueprint of the patient’s unique bone and vessel anatomy.
