Overview
What is CT Angio?
A CT Angio is an imaging test for examining the functioning of the body’s blood vessels and arteries. It detects various blood vessel-related ailments, like narrowing and plaque deposition in the arteries. A CT scan is done after injecting a contrast material to obtain cross-sectional images of the vessels. It helps observe them for blockages, clots, aneurysms, congenital cardiovascular abnormalities, disorganized blood vessels, tumors, vessel ruptures, or injury. It may provide more precise details than MRIs or conventional catheter angiography for conducting surgery, or eliminate needing it altogether.
