Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography

Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography is a medical imaging technique that uses CT scanners and a special dye (contrast material) to visualize blood vessels throughout the body. The contrast dye highlights the vessels, making them visible on detailed cross-sectional images. This helps doctors detect problems like blockages, aneurysms, or abnormalities in arteries and veins. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and provides high-resolution images, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning without the need for surgery. Patients may experience a warm sensation or a metallic taste during dye injection but generally tolerate the procedure well.
