About CT Angiography - Cerebral (Brain)
CT Angiography - Cerebral (Brain) is a specialized imaging examination that uses intravenous contrast dye and CT imaging to display the arteries of the brain. It provides a detailed image of the cerebral blood vessels and abnormalities in their blood flow. The examination assesses:
Cerebral Arteries: Major arteries supplying the brain
Intracranial Blood Vessels: Arterial anatomy and vascular abnormalities
Aneurysms: Abnormal widening or ballooning of blood vessels
Vascular Narrowing: Assessment of stenosis and other arterial abnormalities
Vascular Malformations: Evaluation of abnormal connections between blood vessels
What is CT Angiography - Cerebral (Brain)?
This is an enhanced CT scan, and it is performed to acquire information about blood vessels surrounding the brain. This scan is performed when there is a vascular problem, blockage of blood vessels leading to the brain, an aneurysm, or other abnormalities.
Common Reasons for CT Angiography - Cerebral (Brain)
Suspected brain aneurysm
Sudden or severe headache
Suspected stroke or arterial blockage
Evaluation of cerebral artery narrowing
Suspected vascular malformation
Assessment of unexplained neurological symptoms
Evaluation of intracranial vascular abnormalities
Pre-operative or pre-treatment vascular assessment
Follow-up of known cerebral vascular conditions
Conditions Evaluated
Cerebral Aneurysms
Helps detect and evaluate abnormal widening of cerebral arteries.
Arterial Stenosis
Assesses narrowing of blood vessels that may affect blood supply to the brain.
Cerebral Arterial Occlusion
Helps identify blockages or interruptions in cerebral arterial blood flow.
Vascular Malformations
Provides detailed visualization of abnormal vascular structures and connections.
Stroke-Related Vascular Abnormalities
May help identify arterial blockages or other vascular causes associated with acute neurological symptoms.
Other Cerebral Vascular Conditions
Can assist in evaluating various abnormalities involving the arteries of the brain.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have sudden or severe unexplained headache
Have symptoms suggestive of stroke
Have suspected cerebral aneurysm
Have suspected vascular malformation
Have known or suspected narrowing of cerebral arteries
Require detailed assessment of cerebral blood vessels
Need pre-operative or pre-treatment vascular evaluation
Require follow-up of a known vascular abnormality

सीटी एंजियोग्राफी - सेरेब्रल (ब्रेन) से पहले खाली पेट रहना आवश्यक हो सकता है, विशेष रूप से जब नस के माध्यम से कंट्रास्ट दिया जाना हो। डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा बताए गए समय तक भोजन न करें।
यदि आपको पहले कंट्रास्ट पदार्थ से किसी प्रकार की एलर्जी या प्रतिक्रिया हुई है, तो जांच से पहले इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि आपको गुर्दे की बीमारी, गुर्दे की कार्यक्षमता में कमी, मधुमेह या कोई अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य समस्या है, तो टीम को पहले बताएं।
यदि आप मधुमेह की दवा, विशेष रूप से मेटफॉर्मिन ले रहे हैं, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को इसकी जानकारी दें और दवा के संबंध में दिए गए निर्देशों का पालन करें।
आप जो भी दवाइयां या अन्य औषधीय उत्पाद ले रहे हैं, उनकी जानकारी टीम को दें। डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना कोई भी निर्धारित दवा बंद न करें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, गर्भधारण की योजना बना रही हैं या गर्भधारण की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को बताएं।
यदि आप स्तनपान करा रही हैं, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को इसकी जानकारी दें।
उपलब्ध होने पर पिछली सीटी, एमआरआई, एंजियोग्राफी, अल्ट्रासाउंड, रक्त जांच या अन्य संबंधित चिकित्सकीय रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएं।
जांच से पहले आभूषण, बालों की धातु वाली वस्तुएं और अन्य धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा दिए गए सभी विशेष तैयारी संबंधी निर्देशों का पालन करें।
The patient is registered, and relevant clinical history, previous imaging, medical conditions, allergies, and current medications are reviewed.
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT table, with the head maintained in the appropriate position to minimize movement.
An intravenous line is placed in a suitable vein for contrast administration.
A suitable amount of iodinated contrast material is administered through the intravenous line.
CT images are acquired during the appropriate contrast phase to visualize the cerebral blood vessels.
The scan provides detailed images of the cerebral arteries and intracranial blood vessels.
The images are processed using advanced CT techniques to evaluate the vascular structures in detail.
The examination helps assess findings such as aneurysms, arterial narrowing, blockages, vascular malformations, and other cerebral vascular abnormalities.
The findings are correlated with the patient's symptoms, clinical history, and previous investigations where appropriate.
Appropriate radiation safety and contrast-safety protocols are followed throughout the examination.
The images are reviewed and interpreted by experienced Radiologists.
CT Angiography is generally a quick and minimally invasive examination, although a brief warm or flushing sensation may occur after contrast injection.
