CT Angio or CT Angiography is a non-invasive medical imaging test that helps your doctor see how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
It uses a CT scanner and a special dye (contrast) to create detailed 3D images of your heart, arteries, and veins.
Unlike traditional angiography, CT Angio does not require inserting a tube into your artery, making it a faster and safer option for many patients.
CT Angio is recommended when your doctor wants to:
Check for blockages or narrowing in heart arteries
Evaluate chest pain or shortness of breath
Examine aortic diseases, blood clots, or aneurysms
Detect heart defects or valve problems
Assess stents, bypass grafts, or pacemaker leads
Plan treatment for heart or vascular conditions
It gives a clear, detailed picture of your heart in just a few minutes.
You’ll lie on a CT scanner table.
A small amount of contrast dye is injected into a vein in your arm.
The CT machine takes detailed cross-sectional and 3D images of your heart and blood vessels.
The test usually takes 10–15 minutes.
You can go home soon after the scan.
It’s completely painless, and no hospital stay is required.
