CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging is a non-invasive test that uses a special CT scanner and a contrast dye to assess blood flow in the heart muscle. By taking detailed images during the scan, doctors can detect areas where blood flow is reduced or blocked, indicating potential coronary artery disease. This test helps evaluate the heart’s function and can be done at rest or during stress to identify issues that might cause chest pain or increase the risk of heart attack. It provides valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning in cardiovascular health.
