Coronary CT angiography is a noninvasive medical procedure that uses computed tomography to produce detailed images of the heart's coronary arteries.
Coronary computed tomography angiography is primarily used to diagnose heart conditions such as coronary artery disease and arterial blockages.
During a coronary CT angiography, a contrast agent is injected into the patient's veins, and high-resolution images of the heart and coronary arteries are taken using a CT scanner.
No, coronary CT angiography is not painful. However, some patients may experience a sensation of warmth or mild discomfort at the injection site of the contrast dye.
A coronary CT angiography procedure typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case and the quality of the images required.
