CTCA

Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses advanced CT scan technology and contrast dye to create detailed pictures of the coronary arteries—the blood vessels supplying the heart. It helps doctors detect blockages or narrowing that could lead to chest pain or a heart attack. The procedure involves lying on a table while the scanner takes cross-sectional images of the heart. It’s quick, painless, and useful for assessing heart health, especially in patients at risk for coronary artery disease, without the need for invasive catheterization.
