Cardiac Computed Tomography

Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels. It helps doctors assess heart conditions, detect blockages, and evaluate heart structure and function. During the procedure, patients lie on a table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped machine, which takes multiple images from different angles. These images are then compiled into cross-sectional views, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the heart’s health. Cardiac CT is non-invasive and provides valuable information to guide treatment decisions for various heart-related issues.
