Computed Tomography (CT)

Medical imaging using X-rays.

Coronary CT Angiography

The coronary CT angiography or cardiac CT angiogram protocol is the most common dedicated cardiac CT examination and is a non-invasive tool for the evaluation of the coronary arteries.

The main purpose is a diagnostic acquisition of a coronary angiogram at a radiation dose as reasonably low as possible.

Why should I do it ?

CT angiography is used to examine blood vessels and the organs supplied by them in various body parts, including:
- Brain
- Neck
- Heart
- Chest
- abdomen (such as the kidneys and liver)
- pelvis
- legs and feet
- arms and hands
Physicians use this test to diagnose and evaluate many diseases of blood vessels and related conditions such as:
- injury
- aneurysms
- blockages (including those from blood clots or plaques)
- disorganized blood vessels and blood supply to tumors
- congenital (birth related) abnormalities of the heart, blood vessels or various parts of the body which might be supplied by abnormal blood vessels
