Computerized Tomography Angiography (CTA)

Computerized Tomography Angiography (CTA) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels throughout the body. It combines a special type of X-ray imaging with a contrast dye injected into the bloodstream, which highlights the blood vessels. The CTA scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images, which a computer then compiles into clear, 3D pictures. This helps doctors identify issues like blockages, aneurysms, or other vascular abnormalities quickly and accurately, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning without invasive procedures.
