The Angiotomography Department at Hospital Angeles Ciudad Juárez in obtaining detailed images of the coronary arteries. This technique uses a combination of computed tomography and a contrast agent to accurately visualize blood flow in the heart.

Coronary angiotomography is an effective tool for detecting and evaluating the presence of heart disease, such as blockages in the coronary arteries. In addition, it can also help identify the presence of cholesterol and calcium plaques in the arteries, which may be an indicator of coronary artery disease.

This service is performed in a hospital setting and is conducted by a team of highly trained radiology professionals. During the procedure, the patient lies on an examination table and is administered an intravenous contrast agent to improve image quality.

Coronary computed tomography angiography is a non-invasive and safe procedure that provides fast and accurate results. It is an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of heart disease, allowing physicians to make informed decisions about the appropriate treatment for each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coronary computed tomography angiography is an imaging procedure used to assess the condition of the coronary arteries and detect possible blockages or narrowings. It is a useful tool in the diagnosis of heart disease and in the evaluation of patients with risk factors.

Coronary angiography is performed by injecting a contrast agent into the patient's veins, followed by a CT scan. During the procedure, the patient must remain still and follow the doctor's instructions.

No, coronary CT angiography is not painful. The procedure is noninvasive and does not require incisions or anesthesia. However, some patients may experience a sensation of warmth or mild discomfort when the contrast dye is administered.

A coronary CT angiogram typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. This includes the time needed to prepare the patient, inject the contrast dye, and perform the CT scan.

Although coronary CT angiography is considered a safe procedure, there are some associated risks, such as allergic reactions to the contrast dye or exposure to radiation. However, these risks are minimal, and the benefits of the procedure generally outweigh them in most cases. It is important for the patient to inform the doctor of any allergies or pre-existing medical conditions before undergoing coronary CT angiography.
