Schedule a CT Angiography - Aortagram test at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH-accredited centre. It is an advanced imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast to get detailed images of the aorta and its main arteries. It assists doctors in checking the aorta and major blood vessels for any blockages, narrowing, vascular malformations, dissections, as well as aneurysms. Our radiology staff is highly trained with the latest CT angiography technology to deliver high-resolution images and timely reporting.
About CT Angiography - Aortagram
A specialized imaging test that uses X-rays and intravenous contrast dye to provide images of the aorta and its branches is called CT Angiography - Aortagram. It gives detailed information about the dimensions, form, course, and integrity of the aortic structure and its surrounding blood vessels. The examination evaluates:
Aorta: Thoracic and/or abdominal aorta as clinically indicated
Major Branch Vessels: Major arteries arising from the aorta
Aneurysms: Abnormal widening or enlargement of the aorta
Aortic Wall: Assessment for dissection and other structural abnormalities
Vascular Narrowing: Evaluation of stenosis, occlusion, and other arterial abnormalities
What is CT Angiography - Aortagram?
A CT Angiography - Aortagram is a type of computed tomography image used with a special dye that provides detailed images of the aorta and larger blood vessels. It is done to diagnose an aortic aneurysm, dissection, narrowing, blockage, or when there's a suspicion of any of these conditions. The scan also helps to plan surgery before it is performed, and to monitor aortic disorders or interventions affecting the arteries.
Common Reasons for CT Angiography - Aortagram
Suspected aortic aneurysm
Evaluation of aortic dissection
Sudden or persistent chest or abdominal pain
Assessment of aortic narrowing or blockage
Evaluation of vascular abnormalities
Assessment following significant trauma
Pre-operative vascular planning
Follow-up of known aortic aneurysm
Evaluation after vascular or endovascular treatment
Conditions Evaluated
Aortic Aneurysm
Helps detect and measure abnormal enlargement of the aorta and assess its extent.
Aortic Dissection
Provides detailed visualization of abnormalities involving the layers of the aortic wall.
Aortic Stenosis and Occlusion
Assesses narrowing or blockage affecting the aorta and major branches.
Traumatic Aortic Injury
May help identify vascular injuries following significant chest or abdominal trauma.
Aortoiliac Vascular Disease
Can evaluate abnormalities involving the abdominal aorta and its major branches extending toward the pelvis.
Post-Treatment Assessment
Helps evaluate the aorta following vascular surgery, stent placement, or other endovascular procedures.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have suspected or known aortic aneurysm
Have sudden or severe chest or abdominal pain
Have suspected aortic dissection
Have known vascular disease
Have sustained significant trauma
Require pre-operative vascular assessment
Need monitoring of a known aortic abnormality
Require follow-up after vascular or endovascular treatment

सीटी एंजियोग्राफी - एओर्टाग्राम से पहले खाली पेट रहना आवश्यक हो सकता है, विशेष रूप से जब नस के माध्यम से कंट्रास्ट पदार्थ दिया जाना हो। रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा बताए गए समय तक भोजन न करें।
यदि आपको पहले कंट्रास्ट पदार्थ से एलर्जी या किसी प्रकार की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को इसकी जानकारी 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 दवाइयां, विशेष रूप से मेटफॉर्मिन लेते हैं, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को इसकी जानकारी दें और उनके निर्देशों का पालन करें।
आप जो भी दवाइयां या अन्य औषधीय उत्पाद लेते हैं, उनकी जानकारी टीम को दें। डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना कोई भी निर्धारित दवा बंद न करें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, गर्भधारण की संभावना है या गर्भधारण की योजना बना रही हैं, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को बताएं।
यदि आप स्तनपान करा रही हैं, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोलॉजी टीम को इसकी जानकारी दें।
उपलब्ध होने पर पिछली सीटी, एमआरआई, एंजियोग्राफी, अल्ट्रासाउंड या अन्य संबंधित चिकित्सकीय रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएं।
जांच से पहले और बाद में पानी पीने के संबंध में रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा दिए गए निर्देशों का पालन करें।
जांच से पहले आवश्यकता के अनुसार आभूषण और अन्य धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
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 according to the examination protocol.
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 aorta and its major branches.
Detailed images are obtained to assess the thoracic and/or abdominal aorta, depending on the clinical requirement.
Advanced image reconstruction techniques may be used to evaluate the size, shape, course, and structural integrity of the aorta and major blood vessels.
The examination helps assess aortic aneurysm, dissection, narrowing, blockage, traumatic vascular injury, and other vascular abnormalities.
The aorta and its major branches are evaluated for their relationship with surrounding anatomical structures.
The examination may also support pre-operative planning and follow-up after vascular surgery, stent placement, or other endovascular treatment.
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.
The examination is generally quick and minimally invasive. A brief warm or flushing sensation may occur after contrast injection.
