Test Code

CT Cardiac Angiography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses computed tomography and contrast dye to visualize the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. It helps detect narrowing, blockages, or plaque buildup in the arteries and assess the risk of coronary artery disease. This test is commonly recommended for patients with chest pain, abnormal stress test results, or suspected heart disease. CT Cardiac Angiography provides high-resolution images within a short scan time, allowing accurate evaluation of heart vessels. The procedure aids in early diagnosis and treatment planning, helping prevent serious cardiac complications.
