CT coronary angiography

CT coronary angiography is a non-invasive method that combines the use of injected contrast agents with the power of computerized tomography (CT) to locate, visualize and measure evidence of coronary artery disease — within minutes. This technique delineates arterial blood flow and reveals the presence of potentially dangerous plaques without the need for traditional angiography, which may not be indicated for high-risk patients.
