What is a CT Angiogram?
A CT Angiogram (CTA) is a special scan that uses advanced X-ray technology and contrast dye to create detailed 3-D images of your blood vessels. It helps doctors see how well blood flows through your heart, brain, lungs, and other organs safely and painlessly.
Why you might need a CT Angiogram!
Your doctor may request this test if you have: Chest pain, breathlessness, or irregular heartbeat Suspected heart or lung disease Headaches, dizziness, or stroke-like symptoms Leg pain or swelling suggestive of poor circulation Family history of heart disease or aneurysm Early detection can save your life by guiding timely treatment before complications occur.
