CT angiography:A doctor might order a CT angiography, or angiogram, if they want to assess a person’s risk of heart disease. The scan can also help doctors detect damage to the blood vessels, such as aneurysms or blockages. Before the scan, a health professional injects dye into the bl...
A good-quality CT pulmonary angiogram has a high accuracy rate for the evaluation of PE. Investigators have reported that subsegmental emboli can be missed; however, visualization of smaller arterial branches and, therefore, detection of small emboli have improved with the availability of multidetector...
What is the difference between a CT scan and a CT angiogram? What is the difference between a CT angiogram and a CT scan with IV contrast? An angiogram is a specific type ofCT scanwith contrast. In a CT angiogram the contrast is timed so that it will highlight either the arteries or ...
ObjectivesMulti-modal imaging, mainly non contrast CT brain (NCCT) with CT angiogram (CTA) with or without CT perfusion (CTP) is essential for the rapid evaluation of stroke patients, with the ultimate goal being accurate diagnosis and timely management of patients.1 These imaging protocols are ...
(b) Axial CT angiogram reconstructed at the CT console immediately after the patient was scanned. The reconstruction was performed using the simple overlapping thick slab maximal intensity projection (MIP) algorithm and clearly shows (arrow) an occlusion of the proximal right middle cerebral artery (...
Diagnosis of ischemia-causing coronary stenoses by noninvasive fractional flow reserve computed from coronary computed tomographic angiograms. Results from the prospective multicenter DISCOVER-FLOW (Diagnosis of Ischemia-Causing Stenoses Obtained Via Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve) study J Am Coll Cardi...
Fig. 9. Forest plot showing the number of coronary angiograms with normal findings comparing CTCA with ICA. There was a significant increase in the requirement of additional functional stress testing in the CTCA arm at follow-up compared to ICA with the two studies that reported outcomes for th...

0626T Intraprocedural coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) with 3D functional mapping of color-hyphencoded FFR values for the coronary tree, derived from coronary angiogram data, for real-hyphentime review and interpretation of possible atherosclerotic stenosis(es) intervention (List separately in addi...
A, Multiplanar reformat of a CT angiogram demonstrating obstructive stenosis of the proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and a computed fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) value of 0.62, indicating vessel ischemia. Invasive coronary angiogram demonstrates obstructive stenosis of the...
