What is CT Angio- Pulmonary Embolism?
The Computed Tomography based Angiography is an imaging procedure in which the rotating beams of X-rays are used after injection of a contrast material to create a detailed image of the pulmonary (lung) blood vessels and their blood flow patterns to help detect and diagnose blood supply disorders due to blockages in the blood vessels.

- • To evaluate the pulmonary blood vessels for embolism or blockage which may be caused by a number of factors like air, blood clot, fat deposits, tumor, etc. • To check for abnormalities of blood clotting factors causing increased blood coagulation • To evaluate the pulmonary blood vessels for embolism or blockage in case of recent surgery or prolonged period of immobility like bed rest • To detect the presence of any malignant tumors (abnormal growth)
