About CT Angiography Left Upper Limb
Advances in medical imaging make CT Angiography Left Upper Limb an advanced imaging exam that combines CT scanning with the injection of contrast material to produce detailed images of the arteries and blood vessels of the left arm. It allows one to clearly visualize the subclavian artery, axillary artery, brachial artery, radial artery, ulnar artery, and the hand's smaller blood vessels. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses the latest in CT angiography technology to get detailed and clear images of vessels for more accurate diagnosis of blood flow and vessel problems.
What is CT Angiography Left Upper Limb?
A CT Angiography Left Upper Limb is a non-invasive imaging procedure that is performed to assess the blood vessels and arteries of the left arm. A special dye is put into the blood, which outlines the blood vessels in detail and can help the CT scan spot any blood vessel problems. This scan is often ordered in people who have suspected vascular diseases; decreased blood flow; injuries to a blood vessel following trauma; or before any vaginal procedure.
Common Reasons for CT Angiography Left Upper Limb
Evaluation of blocked or narrowed arteries
Reduced blood circulation in the left arm
Suspected blood vessel injury after trauma
Assessment of aneurysms or abnormal vessel enlargement
Detection of blood clots in arteries
Evaluation before vascular surgery or intervention
Unexplained pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm
Assessment of congenital vascular abnormalities
Conditions Evaluated
Arterial Blockages
Helps identify narrowing or blockage of arteries affecting blood supply to the left upper limb.
Blood Vessel Injuries
Evaluates damage to arteries following accidents, fractures, or trauma.
Aneurysms
Detects abnormal widening or weakening of blood vessel walls.
Blood Clots
Helps identify arterial clots that may affect circulation.
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Assesses reduced blood flow caused by narrowing of blood vessels.
Vascular Malformations
Helps detect abnormal development or structure of blood vessels.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend CT Angiography Left Upper Limb if you:
Have reduced blood flow symptoms in the left arm
Experience arm pain, numbness, or weakness
Have suspected artery blockage or injury
Need evaluation before vascular surgery
Have abnormal findings in previous vascular tests
Require detailed assessment of blood vessels after trauma

Test information: Fasting NOT required.
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before the examination if intravenous contrast is to be administered. Please follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the diagnostic centre.
Drink plenty of water before the scan unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Good hydration also helps eliminate the contrast material after the examination.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing jewellery, watches, bracelets, or any metallic objects on the left arm and upper body.
Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, as CT scans involve ionising radiation.
Inform the staff if you have a history of allergy to iodinated contrast dye, asthma, kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or any previous reaction to contrast injections.
Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, MRI, CT scans, or vascular imaging reports for comparison.
Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. If you are taking medication for diabetes (such as Metformin), inform the radiology team before the examination.
Inform the radiographer if you have undergone vascular surgery, angioplasty, stent placement, bypass surgery, or have any implanted vascular devices in the left upper limb.
Remain as still as possible during the examination to ensure sharp, high-quality images.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 20–30 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, screening, and contrast preparation.
यदि नस के माध्यम से कॉन्ट्रास्ट दवा दी जानी है, तो जांच से पहले 4–6 घंटे का उपवास करना पड़ सकता है। कृपया अपने डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
यदि डॉक्टर ने मना न किया हो, तो जांच से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएँ। इससे जांच के बाद कॉन्ट्रास्ट दवा शरीर से बाहर निकलने में सहायता मिलती है।
आरामदायक और ढीले कपड़े पहनकर आएँ तथा बाएँ हाथ और ऊपरी शरीर से घड़ी, कंगन, आभूषण या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को इसकी जानकारी अवश्य दें।
यदि आपको कॉन्ट्रास्ट डाई से एलर्जी, अस्थमा, किडनी की बीमारी, मधुमेह, थायरॉयड की समस्या, या पहले कभी कॉन्ट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन से प्रतिक्रिया हुई हो, तो इसकी जानकारी पहले से दें।
अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा पहले कराए गए डॉप्लर अल्ट्रासाउंड, सीटी एंजियोग्राफी, सीटी, एमआरआई या अन्य रक्त वाहिका संबंधी जांच रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएँ।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ लेते रहें। यदि आप मधुमेह की दवा (जैसे Metformin) लेते हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को अवश्य दें।
यदि पहले रक्त वाहिका की सर्जरी, एंजियोप्लास्टी, स्टेंट, बायपास या कोई अन्य वास्कुलर प्रक्रिया हुई हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
जांच के दौरान स्पष्ट और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली तस्वीरों के लिए बिल्कुल स्थिर रहें।
पंजीकरण, आवश्यक जांच और कॉन्ट्रास्ट की तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 20–30 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुँचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table, usually lying on the back with the left arm placed in the appropriate position for vascular imaging.
An intravenous (IV) contrast agent is injected, usually through a vein in the arm, to clearly highlight the arteries and blood vessels of the left upper limb.
Thin-slice CT Angiography (CTA) images are obtained from the subclavian artery through the axillary, brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries, extending to the hand when clinically required.
During the contrast injection, you may experience a brief warm sensation or metallic taste. This is normal and usually subsides within a few minutes.
You will be asked to remain completely still during image acquisition to ensure clear, high-resolution vascular images.
The examination is non-invasive, and the CT scan itself usually takes 10–15 minutes, while the overall appointment, including preparation and contrast administration, may take 30–45 minutes.
After the examination, you may be advised to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the contrast material from your body, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Reports are generally available within 04 hours*.
