Computed Tomography Angiography

Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is a medical imaging technique that uses a special type of X-ray and computer technology to visualize blood vessels throughout the body. The procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into a vein, which highlights the blood vessels on the images. The CT scanner then takes detailed cross-sectional pictures, allowing doctors to assess the health of arteries and veins for conditions like blockages, aneurysms, or abnormalities. CTA is minimally invasive, quick, and provides vital information for diagnosing and planning treatment for vascular issues.
