Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is CT Angiography?

CT Angiography (CTA) is an advanced CT scan that shows blood vessels in detail. It helps detect blockages, narrowing, clots, aneurysms, and circulation problems anywhere in the body.

2. Is CT Angiography painful?

No. CTA is a non-invasive and painless test. You will need to lie still on the CT table while the scanner takes images.

3. How long does the test take?

The actual scan takes 5–10 minutes. Including registration and preparation, the total visit is usually 30–45 minutes.

4. Do I need any preparation before CTA?

Some CTA scans require 4–6 hours of fasting. A team member will confirm preparation instructions when you book the appointment.

5. Will I receive a contrast (dye) injection?

Yes, CTA typically requires a contrast (iodine) injection to clearly show blood vessels. It is safe for most patients.

6. Is CTA safe?

Yes. The test is very safe when done in an accredited center. Our scans are performed using low-dose CT protocols for patient safety.

7. Who performs the test?

The scan is done by senior CT technicians trained specifically for angiography studies.

8. Who reads the report?

All CTA scans are reviewed and interpreted by experienced MD / MBBS radiologists, ensuring accurate and clinically useful diagnosis.

9. When will I get my report?

Most CTA reports are delivered within 6–24 hours, depending on the type of study and case complexity.

10. Is CTA better than a normal CT scan?

Yes. CTA provides detailed views of the arteries and blood flow, which a standard CT scan cannot do. CTA is often used to detect early vascular disease.

11. What health problems can CTA detect?

CTA can detect:

• Heart blockages

• Stroke-related blood vessel issues

• Pulmonary embolism

• Abdominal or limb blood flow problems

• Vascular stenosis, aneurysms, clots

12. Who should consider CT Angiography?

CTA is useful for people with:

• Chest pain or suspected heart disease

• Shortness of breath or palpitations

• Symptoms of stroke, dizziness or headaches

• Numbness/weakness in arms or legs

• Diabetes-related circulation problems

• Family history of cardiac / vascular disease

If your doctor has advised an angiography test, CTA is one of the most effective and reliable evaluations available today.

Who Should Consider CT Angiography?

CTA is recommended for patients with:

• Chest pain or discomfort

• Suspected heart blockage

• Numbness or weakness in limbs

• Severe headaches, stroke symptoms or dizziness

• Diabetic vascular problems

• Family history of heart/vascular disease
