A CT (Computed Tomography) scan of the chest with contrast is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays and a special dye to create detailed images of the structures inside the chest, including the lungs, heart, and blood vessels. A patient may need this procedure if their doctor suspects a medical condition affecting the chest, such as lung disease, heart problems, or infections. During the test, the patient will lie on a table that moves through a CT scanner, and the contrast dye may be injected into a vein to help certain structures show up more clearly on the images.
