Understanding CT Both Upper Limb Angiography

What is CT Both Upper Limb Angiography?

The CT Both Upper Limb Angiography is used to check the blood vessels in both arms.It helps detect conditions such as arterial blockages, narrowing (stenosis), aneurysms, or vascular injuries. A special dye (contrast) is injected into a vein, and a CT scanner takes detailed images of the blood vessels. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD), blood clots, or vascular injuries. This is a safe and effective way to help doctors understand blood flow issues. The scan helps doctors make accurate diagnoses and create effective treatment plans to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of complications. Also, inform the doctor of any known allergies, especially to iodine-based contrast agents before the scan.
