CT Coronary Angiography at RadCare: Accurate Diagnostic Tool for Heart Health

The coronary arteries are the primary source of oxygen-rich blood for the heart muscle. Ensuring the health of these arteries is crucial, and CT Coronary Angiography (CT Angio) is an advanced diagnostic technique that helps detect calcifications or narrowing that may affect blood flow.

Significance of CT Coronary Angiography

1. Detecting Arterial Calcifications:

   • CT Angio allows the identification of calcium deposits on the arterial walls, which may indicate hardening or narrowing.

2. Diagnosing Narrowing:

   • Helps assess the extent of coronary artery narrowing, which can reduce blood flow to the heart and is a major factor in heart diseases.

3. Avoiding Invasive Procedures:

   • In many cases, this technique can eliminate the need for traditional coronary angiography (catheterization), minimizing invasive interventions.

Why Choose RadCare?

1. Modern Technologies:

   • We utilize state-of-the-art imaging systems to ensure accurate results while minimizing radiation exposure.

2. Non-Invasive Diagnosis:

   • CT Coronary Angiography is a simple and painless procedure that eliminates the need for catheter insertion or surgical risks.

3. Comprehensive Care:

   • Our expert medical team provides accurate interpretations of results and tailored treatment plans for each patient.

How the Procedure is Performed:

1. Contrast Injection:

   • A contrast material is injected intravenously to enhance visualization of coronary arteries during the scan.

2. Imaging:

   • Detailed cross-sectional images are captured using advanced CT technology.

3. Analysis:

   • The images are analyzed to detect any calcifications or narrowing in the arteries.

Additional Tests Offered:

1. PET/CT Radiotherapy Planning:

   • Integrates PET and CT imaging for precise treatment planning.

2. Calcium Score and Coronary CTA:

   • Measures coronary artery calcium levels and provides detailed visualization of the coronary arteries using CT imaging.

At RadCare, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of diagnostic accuracy and quality care to support heart health and ensure patient comfort.
