Book Both Limbs Angiography at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL and NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre providing cutting-edge services in Radiology & Pathology. Our sophisticated CT angiography (CTA) enables visualization of both upper limbs or both lower limbs with the use of intravenous contrast, providing detailed images of the arteries. This is a thorough evaluation used to properly determine if there is an arterial blockage, peripheral artery disease, aneurysm, vascular trauma, congenital vascular conditions, or other circulatory problems in the legs or arms. Utilizing the latest computer imaging and technology, our highly qualified radiologists render timely and detailed angiographic images to assure accurate diagnosis and effective planning for treatment.
About Both Limbs Angiography
The Both Limbs Angiography is an advanced study of the arterial blood vessels of both upper limbs or both lower limbs by contrast-enhanced CT angiography (CTA). After the injection of contrast, the examination allows the doctor to see detailed pictures of the arterial system, to see if there are blood flow problems, narrowing or blockages, as well as blood system problems in both legs. The exam can be undertaken for either upper or lower limbs (shoulders to hands or hips to feet) depending on the clinical indication.
At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-resolution CT angiography (CTA) technology offers a comprehensive picture of the circulation of the arteries, a technology that enables earlier diagnosis and more effective management of peripheral vascular diseases.
What is Both Limbs Angiography?
Both of them are imaging exams done intravenously without harming the body and are non-invasive. It employs a CT scanning technique to produce highly detailed images of the arteries that supply both arms, which is used by doctors to assess blood flow, look for any abnormalities, detect arterial narrowing or blockage, and determine the right treatment strategy. This scan is performed on those who complain of pain, numbness, weakness, and poor circulation in their upper and/or lower limbs.
Common Reasons for Both Limbs Angiography
Suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Pain in both arms or both legs during activity or at rest
Reduced or absent pulses
Evaluation of arterial blockage or narrowing
Assessment of aneurysms
Evaluation of traumatic vascular injuries
Assessment of congenital vascular abnormalities
Pre-operative vascular mapping
Follow-up after vascular surgery or angioplasty
Conditions Evaluated
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Detects narrowing or blockage of arteries affecting blood supply to both limbs.
Arterial Occlusion and Stenosis
Evaluates partial or complete blockage of arteries and the severity of reduced blood flow.
Aneurysms
Identifies abnormal dilatation or weakening of arteries supplying the limbs.
Traumatic Vascular Injuries
Assesses arterial damage following accidents or penetrating injuries.
Congenital Vascular Abnormalities
Evaluates developmental abnormalities involving the arterial system.
Post-Surgical and Post-Interventional Changes
Monitors vascular grafts, bypass procedures, stents, and angioplasty outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Experience pain or poor circulation in both arms or both legs
Have suspected peripheral arterial disease
Have weak or absent pulses in both limbs
Have sustained vascular injuries
Require vascular assessment before surgery
Need follow-up imaging after vascular intervention

Book Your Both Limbs Angiography
Make an appointment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy for Both Limbs Angiography. Our team provides safe, accurate, and timely CT angiography for peripheral arterial disease, arterial blockages, vascular trauma, aneurysms, and other circulatory disorders in both the upper and lower limbs.
Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting may be required before a Both Limbs Angiography (CT Angiography) scan as intravenous contrast is administered. Follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
Drink adequate water before and after the examination, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes (especially if taking metformin), asthma, heart disease, thyroid disorders, blood clotting disorders, or previous reactions to contrast media.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and remove watches, bracelets, rings, anklets, compression garments, or any metallic objects from both limbs being examined before the scan.
Inform your doctor about any history of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), angioplasty, bypass graft surgery, vascular stents, aneurysms, vascular surgery, congenital vascular abnormalities, or previous injuries involving either limb.
Carry previous CT Angiography reports, Arterial Doppler Ultrasound studies, MRI/MRA reports, conventional angiography reports, vascular surgery records, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
Inform the radiology team if you have difficulty lying flat or remaining still during the examination.
Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully. You may be asked to hold your breath briefly during image acquisition to improve image quality.
Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, preparation, IV cannulation, and contrast-related assessment.
Both Limbs Angiography (CT Angiography) जांच में कंट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन दिया जाता है, इसलिए डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए निर्देशों के अनुसार जांच से पहले उपवास (Fasting) की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।
यदि डॉक्टर ने मना न किया हो, तो जांच से पहले और बाद में पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं, जिससे कंट्रास्ट दवा शरीर से आसानी से बाहर निकल सके।
यदि आपको कंट्रास्ट एलर्जी, किडनी की बीमारी, डायबिटीज (विशेषकर Metformin का सेवन), अस्थमा, हृदय रोग, थायरॉइड की बीमारी, रक्त के थक्के बनने की समस्या या पहले कभी कंट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन से एलर्जी हुई हो, तो डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य सूचित करें।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा घड़ी, कंगन, अंगूठी, पायल, कम्प्रेशन गारमेंट या दोनों हाथों/पैरों के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आपको Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), एंजियोप्लास्टी, बायपास सर्जरी, वास्कुलर स्टेंट, एन्यूरिज्म, रक्त वाहिकाओं की सर्जरी, जन्मजात रक्त वाहिका विकृतियां (Congenital Vascular Abnormalities) या पहले किसी प्रकार की चोट का इतिहास है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Angiography रिपोर्ट, Arterial Doppler Ultrasound, MRI/MRA रिपोर्ट, Conventional Angiography रिपोर्ट, Vascular Surgery रिकॉर्ड या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपको सीधे लेटने या कुछ समय तक स्थिर रहने में कठिनाई होती है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें। बेहतर इमेज गुणवत्ता के लिए आपको कुछ सेकंड के लिए सांस रोकने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
पंजीकरण, IV कैनुला लगाने तथा कंट्रास्ट प्रक्रिया की तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with both upper limbs or both lower limbs properly aligned, depending on the clinical indication.
An intravenous (IV) contrast injection is administered to enhance visualization of the arterial system supplying both limbs.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution angiographic images from the shoulders to the hands or from the hips to the feet, providing detailed assessment of the arteries in both limbs.
During the scan, the patient is instructed to remain completely still and may be asked to hold their breath briefly during image acquisition to minimize motion artefacts and ensure optimal image quality.
The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and generally completed within 20–30 minutes, including intravenous contrast administration.
The radiologist carefully reviews the images to assess the arterial anatomy, blood flow, vascular abnormalities, and any pathological findings, helping guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
