Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced CT

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced CT (DCE-CT) is an imaging technique that involves injecting a special dye (contrast agent) into your bloodstream while taking a series of quick CT scans. This allows doctors to observe how the dye moves through tissues over time, helping to assess blood flow, vessel permeability, and tissue health. DCE-CT is often used to evaluate tumors, detect abnormal blood vessels, or monitor disease progress, providing detailed functional information about blood supply and tissue activity alongside standard anatomical images.
