What is Chest CT scan (with and without contrast)? Read the full explainer →

Chest CT scan (with and without contrast)

This is two chest CT scans in one appointment: one before the dye is given, and one after. The comparison is the point — whether a spot in the lung or a mass in the chest takes up dye tells a radiologist something neither pass shows alone. It is the most expensive of the chest CT codes and carries the radiation of two acquisitions.
