Coronary CT angiography is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses computed tomography to produce detailed images of the heart's coronary arteries.
Coronary CT angiography is 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 agent is injected into the patient's veins, and high-resolution images of the coronary arteries are taken using computed tomography.
No, coronary CT angiography is not painful. The procedure is noninvasive and is generally well tolerated by patients.
The total time required for a coronary CT angiogram can vary, but it generally takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the patient's preparation and the quality of the images required.
