What is a Tri-phasic ct scan?
A tri-phasic CT scan is a scan which will show three different stages of dye uptake in the body. The first phase will be before the injection of the dye, the second stage will be for when the dye is in the arteries (roughly 20 seconds after injection) and the third phase will be when the dye has reached the veins (a few minutes later). Sometimes a fourth scan is also done to show the dye uptake in the kidneys and bladder. A tri-phasic scan clearly delineates lesions in the liver and will show problems and irregularities in the arterial and lymphatic system.

What does a three phase CT scan diagnose?
A three phase CT scan is a ct scan, usually of the liver, that requires an injection of contrast medium, this injection helps outline the vessels of your body by giving the x-rays something to be absorbed by besides blood which has a very low absorption rate. The phases are: 1. Scan during injection: arterial phase, this will highlight lesions in or around the artery leading into the liver. 2. Scan during injection or shortly after: portal vein phase, this will show lesions in or around the portal vein. 3. Delayed scan after injection: this will allow the soft tissue to absorb the contrast and may highlight changes in tissue.
