CT Angio of Aortogram

A CT Angiogram of the aorta is a specialized imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) to create detailed images of the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into a vein to enhance the visibility of the blood vessels, allowing healthcare providers to assess for any abnormalities such as blockages, aneurysms, or other vascular conditions. This non-invasive test typically takes about 30 minutes and provides critical information for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular issues.
