Neck Soft Tissue CT Scan (with contrast)

A CT of the soft tissues of the neck taken after iodinated dye is injected into a vein. The dye is the point: it lights up blood vessels and inflamed tissue, which is how a lymph node is told apart from a vein and how the wall of an abscess becomes visible. It is the standard scan for an unexplained lump, swelling or deep neck infection.
