CT Coronary Angiogram

CT Coronary Angiography is a specialized imaging procedure that provides detailed, high-resolution images of the coronary arteries, heart chambers and surrounding blood vessels. During the scan, contrast dye is administered to improve the visibility of the blood vessels, allowing healthcare professionals to examine blood flow and evaluate the condition of the coronary arteries.

The test may help identify plaque buildup, narrowing or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. It can also provide valuable information about the location and extent of coronary artery changes, supporting further clinical evaluation and treatment planning.

Unlike conventional coronary angiography, CT Coronary Angiography is a non-invasive procedure and does not usually require the insertion of a catheter into the heart. The scan is generally completed within a short period and is designed to provide detailed cardiac images while ensuring patient comfort.

The results are reviewed by experienced medical professionals and may help doctors assess cardiovascular health, investigate symptoms and make informed decisions regarding further evaluation, preventive care or treatment.
