Overview

The NCCT (non-contrast computed tomography) of the left wrist is an extremely useful diagnostic imaging test which provides information about the bones, joints, and surrounding structures of the wrist in the absence of a contrast agent. City Imaging offers NCCT left wrist scans that utilise the most up-to-date CT technology, which assists physicians in making accurate fracture, joint, and soft tissue condition diagnoses following injury or degeneration. The NCCT of the left wrist generates detailed cross-sectional images of the wrist, allowing medical professionals to see even subtle abnormalities that are often undetectable on routine X-ray examinations.

The wrist is thought of as probably the most intricate joint of the body. The wrist consists of many small bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels which allow for movement and flexibility. The wrist is very susceptible to injury and many medical conditions due to the complex construction of the wrist joint and the repetitive stress placed on it each day. An NCCT left wrist scan cost can range from INR 2,500 to INR 4,500.

The NCCT left wrist scan results in excellent visualisation of the wrist's bony anatomy and is often the best method to obtain diagnostic information when routine imaging tests do not yield adequate results. Therefore, the examination assists physicians in determining the appropriate treatment and management plan.

What is an NCCT Left Wrist Scan?

NCCT is Non-Contrast Computed Tomography and is a specific type of medical imaging process where specific computer technology and x-ray techniques are used to create complete images of the left wrist without the use of a dye/contrast material. In other words, you do not need to receive any contrast before having the NCCT scan performed.

During the NCCT scan multiple pictures are taken of the left wrist from various angles; those pictures are then digitally reconstructed and presented as cross-sections or three dimensions so that injured wrists (bones and joints) may be accurately evaluated.
