Tests Details :
CT – Lower Limb Angiography is a specialized imaging procedure that uses computed tomography (CT) along with contrast dye to obtain detailed images of the arteries and veins in the lower limbs, including the thighs, knees, calves, and feet.
During the procedure, a contrast agent is injected into a vein, which enhances the visibility of blood vessels on CT images. This allows precise evaluation of blood flow and identification of abnormalities such as narrowing (stenosis), blockages, blood clots, aneurysms, or vascular malformations.
The scan provides high-resolution cross-sectional and 3D images, making it highly useful in diagnosing peripheral vascular diseases and planning medical or surgical interventions.
CT Lower Limb Angiography is commonly used in patients with symptoms like leg pain, numbness, swelling, non-healing wounds, or reduced blood circulation. It is a non-invasive and effective alternative to conventional angiography in many cases.
The purpose of CT Lower Limb Angiography is to evaluate blood vessels in the legs.
It helps to:
- Detect narrowing or blockage in arteries
- Diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Identify blood clots (thrombosis)
- Detect aneurysms or vascular malformations
- Evaluate blood flow to lower limbs
- Assist in treatment and surgical planning
