Neck Soft Tissue CT Scan (with and without contrast)

This is a CT of the soft structures of the neck — glands, lymph nodes, the throat and voice box, and the tissue planes between them — scanned twice, once before contrast is given and once after. Comparing the two sets shows which tissue takes up contrast, which is often what separates an abscess from a solid mass. The scanning itself takes only minutes.
