What is it ?
'CT coronary angiography is
a non invasive, painless, fast, OPD basis examination
of coronary arteries with the help of fast multislice
CT scanner ( 16 slice Somatom Sensation Cardiac CT scanner).
This fast subsecond scan with help of retrospective
ECG gating allows to capture images of heart between
beats and visualize coronary arteries in single breath
hold. CT Coronary Angiography is much safer without
the risks of invasive angiography & it can localize,
visualize & quantify the earliest possible evidence
of coronary artery disease.
CT coronary angiography , because of its non invasiveness,
OPD basis & low cost is considered as a ‘gate
keeper’ for the catheter coronary angiography.
In only a few minutes you can find out if you have a
problem that needs to be evaluated. Heart disease needs
to be prevented & the sooner you find out if you
have a problem the quicker you can reduce your risk.
