Coronary CT angiography is a diagnostic medical procedure that provides detailed images of the coronary arteries. This technique uses a combination of computed tomography (CT) and a contrast agent to accurately visualize blood flow in the heart.

During the procedure, an intravenous contrast agent is administered to the patient to highlight the coronary arteries. Next, a series of high-resolution images of the heart is taken using CT. These images allow doctors to detect and evaluate the presence of blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which may indicate the presence of heart disease.

Coronary CT angiography is a non-invasive alternative to traditional coronary angiography, which requires the insertion of a catheter into the coronary arteries. Additionally, this service provides fast and accurate results, allowing doctors to make more informed treatment decisions.

Coronary CT angiography is primarily used to assess the presence of blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which may indicate coronary artery disease or an increased risk of heart disease.

During a coronary CT angiography, a contrast dye is injected into the patient's veins to highlight the coronary arteries in the images. Multiple high-resolution images of the heart and coronary arteries are then taken using a CT scanner.

No, coronary CT angiography is not painful. The procedure is quick and non-invasive, which means it does not require surgery or incisions. Some patients may experience a warm sensation or mild discomfort when the contrast dye is administered.

The total time required for a coronary CT angiogram is usually about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the patient’s preparation and cooperation. After the procedure, the patient can resume normal activities immediately.
