CT - Coronary + Peripheral Angiography

CT Coronary + Peripheral Angiography is an advanced imaging procedure that combines evaluation of the coronary arteries (supplying the heart) and peripheral arteries (supplying the limbs and other body parts). Using contrast dye and high-resolution CT technology, this scan provides detailed images of blood vessels to identify narrowing (stenosis), blockages, plaque buildup, or other vascular abnormalities.

This test is highly valuable in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It helps in assessing blood flow, detecting early signs of atherosclerosis, and guiding treatment decisions like angioplasty or surgical intervention.

The procedure is non-invasive and offers a comprehensive assessment of both central and peripheral circulation in a single scan, making it useful for patients with multiple vascular risk factors.

This test is recommended for individuals with:

• Chest pain or suspected coronary artery disease
• Leg pain while walking (claudication)
• Poor circulation in limbs
• Diabetes or high cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking history
• Family history of cardiovascular disease
• Suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
