Book your CT Angiography Face at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, a NABL- and NABH-accredited centre. It is an advanced imaging test using Computed Tomography (CT) and intravenous contrast to create detailed images of the blood vessels of the facial area, jaw, and surrounding soft tissues. It aids in assessing vascular malformations, aneurysms, arterial narrowing or obstruction, abnormal bleeding, or vascular disease of the face. Our radiology team is highly trained, and we use the latest CT Angiography technology to obtain high-resolution images and prompt reporting.
About CT Angiography Face
Computed tomography angiography of the face is an imaging study that combines CT with an intravenous (into a vein) contrast material to show the arteries and other blood vessels. It gives comprehensive details of the location, course, and abnormalities of the blood vessels present in the face. The examination evaluates:
Facial Arteries: Major arteries supplying the facial region
Blood Vessels: Arterial anatomy and vascular abnormalities
Soft Tissues: Surrounding facial and maxillofacial structures
Vascular Lesions: Abnormal blood vessel formations and malformations
Abnormal Bleeding: Helps identify potential vascular sources of bleeding
What is CT Angiography Face?
A contrast CT scan of the face and structures around the face is called a CT Angiography Face. It is done when there is a suspicion of vascular abnormality (vascular malformation), abnormal bleeding, or other vascular condition. The scan is a part of pre-operative planning prior to complex maxillofacial and vascular procedures.
Common Reasons for CT Angiography Face
Evaluation of facial vascular malformations
Suspected facial aneurysm or vascular lesion
Unexplained or recurrent facial bleeding
Assessment of facial artery abnormalities
Evaluation of vascular tumours or lesions
Complex facial trauma
Pre-operative surgical planning
Assessment of abnormal facial swelling
Evaluation of suspected vascular complications
Conditions Evaluated
Facial Vascular Malformations
Helps identify abnormal development and connections of blood vessels in the face.
Vascular Lesions
Provides detailed visualization of abnormal vascular growths and their relationship with surrounding tissues.
Facial Arterial Abnormalities
Assesses narrowing, abnormal enlargement, displacement, or other changes involving facial arteries.
Traumatic Vascular Injuries
May help identify vascular injury following significant facial trauma.
Abnormal Facial Bleeding
Can assist in identifying potential vascular sources of persistent or unexplained bleeding.
Pre-Surgical Vascular Assessment
Provides detailed vascular anatomy to help surgeons plan complex facial and maxillofacial procedures.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have a suspected facial vascular malformation
Have unexplained or recurrent facial bleeding
Have an abnormal facial swelling or vascular lesion
Have sustained significant facial trauma
Require detailed assessment of facial blood vessels
Are undergoing complex maxillofacial surgery
Need pre-operative vascular mapping
Require follow-up of a known vascular abnormality

यदि आपको पहले कंट्रास्ट पदार्थ से एलर्जी या किसी प्रकार की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को बताएं।
यदि आपको गुर्दे की बीमारी, गुर्दे की कार्यक्षमता में कमी, मधुमेह या कोई अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य समस्या है, तो इसकी जानकारी टीम को दें।
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 आभूषण, चेहरे के धातु वाले सामान 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 and face maintained in the appropriate position.
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 facial blood vessels.
Detailed images are obtained to assess the facial arteries, blood vessels, surrounding soft tissues, and maxillofacial structures.
Advanced image reconstruction techniques may be used to provide detailed views of the vascular anatomy.
The examination helps assess vascular malformations, vascular lesions, arterial abnormalities, traumatic vascular injuries, and possible vascular sources of abnormal bleeding.
The findings are correlated with the patient's symptoms, clinical history, and previous investigations where appropriate.
