CT Angiography In Pune

A CT Angiography (CTA) scan At omega Pds Pune is a medical imaging technique that combines a CT scan with an injection of a special contrast dye to visualize blood vessels in detail. It is widely used to examine blood vessels in the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and other parts of the body.

Uses of CT Angiography:

• Detecting Blockages: Identifying blockages, narrowing (stenosis), or aneurysms in arteries.
• Coronary Artery Disease: Assessing the coronary arteries in the heart to detect atherosclerosis or other abnormalities.
• Pulmonary Embolism: Diagnosing blood clots in the lungs.
• Aneurysms: Detecting and evaluating aneurysms in arteries throughout the body.
• Pre-Surgical Planning: Used to map blood vessels before surgeries or treatments such as stents or bypass surgery.

Procedure:

1. Contrast Injection: A contrast dye (usually iodine-based) is injected through an IV, which helps to highlight the blood vessels on the scan.
2. CT Scan: The patient lies on a table that moves through a CT scanner, which captures detailed cross-sectional images of the blood vessels.
3. Imaging: The scan usually focuses on specific areas such as the coronary arteries, cerebral arteries, or other vascular regions of the body.

Preparation:

• Fasting: You may be required to avoid eating for a few hours before the scan.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids unless told otherwise, as this helps the body clear the contrast dye afterward.
• Allergy Considerations: Inform the healthcare provider if you have a known allergy to iodine or contrast agents.
• Metal Precautions: Remove any metal objects, as they may interfere with the scan.
• Kidney Function: If you have kidney issues, the healthcare provider may take precautions due to the contrast dye used in the procedure.

Duration:

• The entire process, including preparation and the scan itself, typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
• The actual CT scan is quick, often completed in 10 to 15 minutes.
