Coronary CT angiography

Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart. It employs a special type of X-ray technology combined with a contrast dye injected into a patient's bloodstream. This allows doctors to see if there are any blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which can lead to heart problems. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and often used to evaluate chest pain or assess heart disease risk, helping guide further treatment or interventions if necessary.
