Computerized tomographic angiography, also called CT angiography (CTA), is a radiological test that combines the technology of a conventional CT scan with that of traditional angiography to create detailed images of the blood vessels in the body.
CTA can assess the status of both the large arteries and veins in most parts of the body, including the brain. The test involves the use of x rays which obtain multiple sectional images which are then reconstructed by a computer into 3 dimensional pictures.
It is recommended that one not eat or drink 3-4 hrs before the procedure. Any patient, who has Asthma, should notify the technician. Asthmatic patients tend to develop worsening of their condition and pretreatment for about 24 hours is required before the procedure can be done.
Any one with Allergies should notify the doctor because the contrast dye may induce an episode of allergy.
A pregnancy test must be done in all females. In general pregnant females should not undergo a CT angiogram because of the risk to the fetus. All jewelry, watches, rings and dentures have to be removed to prevent any artifacts in the images. A loose fitting clothing should be worn or one can be provided at the clinic.
