Book your CT Angiography Chest at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH- Accredited centre. It is an advanced imaging test that uses Computed Tomography (CT) with a special dye injection (intravenous contrast) to create detailed images of the blood vessels in the chest, pulmonary arteries, aorta, and other thoracic (chest) structures. It helps doctors make a diagnosis of a pulmonary embolus, aneurysm, narrowing of any blood vessels in the chest, blockage, dissection, and other abnormalities. We have a highly trained radiology team who uses axial tomography (CT angiography) technology to get a high-resolution image and provides prompt reporting.

About CT Angiography Chest

A specialized CT imaging exam using a contrast material that takes images of the major blood vessels of the chest (CT Angiography Chest). It includes assessment of the pulmonary arteries, thoracic aorta, and major vascular structures based on the clinical protocol. The examination evaluates:

• Pulmonary Arteries: Assessment of blood flow pathways supplying the lungs
• Thoracic Aorta: Evaluation of the aorta and its major branches
• Chest Blood Vessels: Assessment of vascular anatomy and abnormalities
• Lungs and Thoracic Structures: Evaluation of surrounding structures for associated abnormalities
• Vascular Lesions: Detection of aneurysms, narrowing, blockages, and other abnormalities

What is CT Angiography Chest?

A CT Angiography of the Chest is a special type of contrast CT to get a detailed image of the blood vessels of the chest. It is done when there is a suspected pulmonary embolus, an aortic disorder, a vascular narrowing, or another thoracic vascular disorder. The scan is used in patients with symptoms of pulmonary embolism or other severe vascular disease.

Common Reasons for CT Angiography Chest

• Suspected pulmonary embolism
• Sudden or unexplained chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Suspected thoracic aortic aneurysm
• Evaluation of aortic dissection
• Assessment of pulmonary or systemic vascular abnormalities
• Evaluation of vascular narrowing or blockage
• Assessment following chest trauma
• Pre-operative vascular assessment
• Follow-up of known vascular conditions

Conditions Evaluated

Pulmonary Embolism

Helps detect blood clots within the pulmonary arteries supplying the lungs.

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Provides detailed visualization and measurement of abnormal enlargement of the thoracic aorta.

Aortic Dissection

Assesses abnormalities involving the layers of the thoracic aortic wall.

Pulmonary Arterial Abnormalities

Helps evaluate narrowing, obstruction, malformations, and other abnormalities involving the pulmonary arteries.

Vascular Trauma

May help identify injuries to major blood vessels following significant chest trauma.

Other Thoracic Vascular Conditions

Provides detailed assessment of abnormalities involving major blood vessels within the chest.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

• Have sudden or unexplained chest pain
• Experience unexplained shortness of breath
• Have suspected pulmonary embolism
• Have suspected aortic aneurysm or dissection
• Have known thoracic vascular disease
• Have sustained significant chest trauma
• Require detailed assessment of chest blood vessels
• Need pre-operative or follow-up vascular evaluation

Benefits of CT Angiography Chest

• Provides detailed images of chest blood vessels
