CT PULMONARY ANGIO

Description

CT PULMONARY ANGIO, also known as CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), is a specialized imaging technique used to examine the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. This non-invasive procedure uses computed tomography with contrast material to create detailed images of the blood vessels in the lungs. It’s primarily used to diagnose pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition where blood clots obstruct arteries in the lungs. The scan can also detect other pulmonary vascular disorders, such as pulmonary hypertension or arteriovenous malformations. CT PULMONARY ANGIO provides rapid results, making it valuable in emergency situations. It offers high-resolution images that can show even small blood clots, allowing for prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
