CT RIGHT SHOULDER

A Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) scan of the right shoulder is a sophisticated imaging study that allows the physician to view the bones, joints and soft tissues surrounding the right shoulder without using any contrast dye. Physicians may order an NCCT scan to evaluate persistent shoulder pain, limited range of motion, trauma and suspected fractures.

While a regular X-ray of the shoulder can only provide limited images of a small area, the NCCT scan provides numerous high-quality images captured at various angles to help the physician find even the most subtle differences in an area that would not typically be seen with X-ray examination alone. The cost for an NCCT scan of the right shoulder ranges from INR 2500 to INR 4500.
