CT Angiography (CTA) Procedure

A CT angiography (CTA) involves the injection of dye (contrast) into the blood vessels. The image after the injection of dye allows the blood vessels to be more easily viewed. CT scanning is done to help diagnose as well as evaluate blood vessel disease or related conditions such as aneurysms or blockages. CTA is typically performed in a radiology department or an outpatient imaging center. CTA covers the following:

• Abdomen
• Head
• Neck
• Chest
• Pelvis
• Upper Extremity (Arm)
• Lower Extremity (Leg)
• Abdomen and Pelvis
• Abdominal Aorta and Both Leg Arteries
