Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA)

Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is a medical imaging technique that combines X-rays and computer technology to visualize blood vessels in the body. During a CTA, a contrast dye is injected into a vein, which makes the blood vessels stand out clearly on the images. This allows doctors to assess conditions such as blockages, aneurysms, or other vascular problems. CTA is commonly used because it is quick, non-invasive, and provides detailed images, helping healthcare professionals make informed decisions about treatment and diagnosis.
