CT Angiography

Advanced Imaging for Blood Vessel Health

A CT Angiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows doctors to visualize the blood vessels in your body in high detail. At Atharv Diagnostic Center, we use cutting-edge CT technology to perform CT Angiography, helping diagnose and assess vascular conditions with precision and accuracy.

What is CT Angiography?

CT Angiography (CTA) uses contrast dye and CT scanning technology to create detailed images of the blood vessels. This test is most commonly used to evaluate the blood vessels in the brain, heart, lungs, abdomen, and limbs. The procedure is crucial for detecting conditions like:

• Aneurysms (bulging blood vessels)

• Arterial blockages or narrowing (due to plaque or blood clots)

• Pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs)

• Coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries)

• Vascular malformations

• Stenosis (narrowing of blood vessels)

• Dissections (tears in blood vessels)

Why is CT Angiography Important?

• Non-invasive: Unlike traditional angiograms, CTA does not require surgery or insertion of a catheter, making it a safer and more comfortable procedure.

• Quick and Accurate: CT Angiography provides detailed 3D images of your blood vessels, helping doctors make precise assessments quickly.

• Early Detection: It helps in detecting vascular problems before they become critical, allowing for early intervention and treatment.

• Comprehensive View: Provides a clear picture of your blood vessels from different angles, helping to identify any potential issues in both major and small blood vessels.

What to Expect During the Scan

• The procedure is quick—usually taking about 15 to 30 minutes.

• Contrast dye will be injected into your vein, which helps make your blood vessels more visible on the CT images.

• You will be asked to lie still on the scan table, and in some cases, to hold your breath for a few seconds while the scan is taken.

• The scan itself is painless, but you might feel a warm sensation when the contrast dye is injected.

• After the procedure, you can resume normal activities, though the radiologist will ensure everything is well before you leave.
