CT Brain & Neck Angiography

The CT Brain & Neck Angiography is a specialized imaging test used to visualize the blood vessels in the brain, neck, and surrounding areas. This non-invasive procedure combines computed tomography (CT) scanning with a contrast dye injected into a vein to highlight arteries and veins. It is particularly useful for detecting abnormalities such as aneurysms, stenosis (narrowing of vessels), arteriovenous malformations, or blood clots. The scan provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images that help physicians assess stroke risk, evaluate symptoms like headaches or dizziness, or plan for surgeries and other treatments. Also, inform the doctor of any known allergies, especially to iodine-based contrast agents before the scan.
