CT AORTAGRAM

Description

CT Aortogram is a specialized imaging technique that uses computed tomography to visualize the aorta, the body’s main artery, and its major branches. This non-invasive procedure involves the injection of contrast material to highlight the aorta and produce high-resolution, three-dimensional images. It allows for detailed examination of the entire length of the aorta, from its origin at the heart to its bifurcation in the abdomen. CT Aortogram is particularly valuable in diagnosing and assessing conditions such as aortic aneurysms, dissections, coarctations, and atherosclerotic disease. It’s also used in pre-operative planning for aortic surgeries and in post-operative follow-up. The technique provides crucial information about the size, shape, and condition of the aorta, as well as the status of its branches, helping guide medical management and interventional strategies for aortic diseases.
