Is CT angiography a commonly available medical procedure?

Hello,

CT angiography is a special medical imaging test that uses a CT (Computed Tomography) scanner along with a special contrast dye injected into your bloodstream to create detailed pictures of your blood vessels and the organs they supply.

CT Angiography Availability at HexaHealth Partner Hospitals

HexaHealth is a trusted healthcare platform that partners with a wide network of leading hospitals and diagnostic centers across India. Therefore, while HexaHealth itself is not a hospital, CT angiography is readily available at many of our partner hospitals.

What is CT Angiography Used For?

• Heart (Coronary CT Angiography): To detect blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying the heart.
• Brain: To identify aneurysms, blockages, or other vascular conditions.
• Lungs (Pulmonary Angiography): To diagnose pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs).
• Kidneys and Other Abdominal Organs: To evaluate blood flow and detect vascular abnormalities.
• Peripheral Arteries: To check for conditions like peripheral artery disease in the legs or arms.

Important Considerations for CT Angiography

• The procedure usually takes a short time and is generally non-invasive, though it involves an injection for the contrast dye.
• It's important to inform your doctor about any allergies, especially to iodine or shellfish, or if you have kidney problems, as the contrast dye can affect these conditions.
• You might be asked to fast for a few hours before the scan.
