Research Notes on CT Angiography
CT angiography uses x-rays to visualize blood flow in arterial and venous vessels. A contrast dye is injected through a vein in the arm. A machine then takes x-rays from different views. This test may be performed on vessels throughout the body. CT Angiography is useful in detecting many problems that include atherosclerosis, aneurysm or embolism.1
