CT angiogram
• A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test
that looks at the arteries that supply your heart with blood. Unlike traditional
coronary angiograms, CT angiograms don't use a catheter threaded through
your blood vessels to your heart.
• Instead, a CT coronary angiogram relies on a powerful X-ray machine to
produce images of your heart and its blood vessels. CT angiograms are
noninvasive and don't require any recovery time. Coronary CT angiograms
are increasingly an option for people with a variety of heart conditions.
• Both CT and traditional coronary angiograms expose you to radiation. If you
have known coronary artery disease, a traditional coronary angiogram may
be a better option, since you can also receive treatment for your coronary
artery disease during that procedure.
