CT SCAN OF BRAIN ANGIO

A cerebral CT angiography (CTA) is an advanced imaging procedure that integrates computed tomography (CT) technology with contrast agents to visualize the complex vascular network in the brain. Prior to the scan, patients may be instructed to refrain from eating, particularly if contrast material will be utilized to enhance blood vessel visibility. The contrast dye, typically containing iodine, is administered via an intravenous (IV) line. Subsequently, the patient is positioned on a movable table that passes through a CT scanner, capturing multiple X-ray images from diverse angles. These images are then processed by a computer to create detailed cross-sectional views of the brain and its vasculature. The three-dimensional reconstruction of these images allows radiologists to thoroughly examine blood vessels, aiding in the detection of potential abnormalities like aneurysms or stenosis. As a non-invasive and expeditious diagnostic tool, cerebral CTA proves invaluable for Hypro Diagnostics in assessing cerebral blood supply and identifying vascular pathologies, thereby facilitating timely medical interventions. Before undergoing the examination, it’s important to discuss potential risks, particularly those associated with contrast material, with healthcare providers.
