What Is a CT Angiogram and What Blood Vessel Conditions Can It Detect?
A CT angiogram (CTA) is a specialised [CT scan] that uses an intravenous contrast injection to produce detailed images of blood vessels throughout the body. It can be focused on any vascular region — the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, or limbs — depending on what your doctor needs to assess.
Conditions a CTA can detect include:
– Aneurysms (abnormal bulging of an artery wall) — including aortic and peripheral
– Arterial narrowing or blockage affecting blood supply
– Aortic disease
– Carotid artery plaque and narrowing in the neck
– Peripheral arterial disease affecting circulation in the arms and legs
– Pulmonary vascular conditions (via CT Pulmonary Angiogram — CTPA)
– Renal (kidney) artery assessment
Because CTA is fast and highly accurate, it is the preferred non-invasive investigation for most vascular diagnostic needs. At Epoch Medical Imaging located in St Ives Shopping Village, vascular CT is reported by specialist radiologists experienced in complex vascular imaging.
Contrast Dye Requirement & Risk Considerations
CT angiography requires an intravenous contrast injection — this is what makes the blood vessels clearly visible on the scan. The contrast is iodine-based and is generally safe for most patients, passing through the kidneys within a few hours.
Before your scan, our team will:
– Review the medical history you have completed on our contrast media consent form and review kidney function results where required
– Ask about any history of allergies, particularly to contrast dye or iodine
Our team at Epoch Medical Imaging in St Ives Shopping Village will review your individual history and ensure you are well prepared before proceeding.
