CT Coronary Angiography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses advanced technology to capture detailed images of the blood vessels supplying the heart. It involves the use of a CT scanner to produce cross-sectional images, allowing healthcare professionals to detect and diagnose conditions affecting the coronary arteries.
During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into a vein in the arm, which highlights the blood vessels in the heart. The CT scanner captures multiple X-ray images as the dye moves through the coronary arteries. These images are reconstructed by a computer to create a detailed view of the heart's blood vessels, aiding in the identification of any blockages or abnormalities.
CT Coronary Angiography is employed to assess various heart conditions, including identifying blockages, determining the extent of coronary artery disease, evaluating congenital heart abnormalities, and planning treatments like stent placement or bypass surgery.
While generally safe, risks associated with CT Coronary Angiography include exposure to radiation and potential allergic reactions to the contrast dye. However, these risks are minimal and are carefully monitored by our experienced medical team.
Before the procedure, you'll receive detailed instructions, including fasting requirements and information about any medications you may need to adjust. During the test, you'll lie on a table that moves into the CT scanner. It's essential to remain still to ensure clear imaging.
Prior to the procedure, you may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours. Inform our team about any allergies, existing health conditions, or medications you're taking, especially if you have kidney problems or diabetes.
Our skilled technologists will guide you through the process, positioning you comfortably and explaining each step. You might experience a warming sensation when the contrast dye is injected. The scanner will rotate around you to capture images, which takes a few seconds.
Once the test is complete, you can usually resume your normal activities. The images will be reviewed by a specialized radiologist, and the results will be shared with your referring physician for further analysis.
CT Coronary Angiography provides a non-invasive means of assessing heart health, offering detailed images without the invasiveness of traditional angiography. It's efficient in detecting potential issues, guiding treatment plans, and enhancing patient outcomes.
