Computed Tomography •CT Angiography

This is a very new examination which is being performed at DMH routinely. It requires the rapid administration of intravenous contrast but no oral contrast. Most people get a warm sensation or even a hot flash during this study due to the way the contrast is delivered so don't let this surprise you. This study is performed for the evaluation of the blood vessels anywhere in the body. Common reasons for this study are arterial blockages, aneurysms, blood clots, and the evaluation of strokes.
