What is a CT Scan Sella And Pituitary Test in Lucknow ?
What is CT Scan Sella And Pituitary?
A CT scan of the sella and pituitary makes detailed X-ray pictures of the small pituitary gland and the bony sella turcica that holds it. The pituitary controls many hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response.
What does CT Scan Sella And Pituitary show?
Imaging helps spot tumors, cysts, bleeding, bone changes, and abnormal size or shape. Doctors use this scan to evaluate causes of hormonal changes, unexplained headaches, or vision problems. It can also guide treatment planning before surgery and monitor changes after treatment. CT is often used when MRI is not possible or when bone detail is needed.
What symptoms suggest CT Scan Sella And Pituitary may be needed?
A doctor may recommend CT Scan Sella And Pituitary when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. In Lucknow, you can book this test online with home collection available in Chinhat, Kaiserbagh, and beyond.
How is CT Scan Sella And Pituitary done?
No needle or sample is involved. At an accredited imaging centre serving Chinhat and Kaiserbagh, Lucknow, a radiographer performs the scan, which is painless and usually completed within 10 to 15 minutes. A qualified radiologist interprets the images and issues a report you can access on GetVisit. (Home collection does not apply to imaging.)
How accurate is CT Scan Sella And Pituitary?
GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around Chinhat, Kaiserbagh, and Lucknow that use maintained, calibrated equipment and qualified radiographers.

Inform staff at the Chinhat or Kaiserbagh, Lucknow centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.
