CT Abdominal Angiogram

A CT abdominal angiogram, also known as a CT angiography (CTA) of the abdominal blood vessels, is a specialized imaging procedure used to visualize the blood vessels within the abdominal region. This diagnostic technique provides detailed information about the structure, location, and any abnormalities or blockages within these vessels. A CT abdominal angiogram is primarily used to diagnose and assess vascular conditions in the abdominal area, such as aneurysms, stenosis (narrowing of blood vessels), dissections, and the presence of blood clots. It can also help evaluate the blood supply to abdominal organs, including the liver, kidneys, spleen, and intestines.

In clinical practice, a CT abdominal angiogram is a valuable tool for vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and other healthcare professionals in diagnosing and managing vascular diseases. It helps assess the severity and location of vascular abnormalities, which is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment strategy. For example, if an abdominal aortic aneurysm is detected, the scan can provide information about its size and location, guiding decisions about whether surgical repair or endovascular intervention is necessary to prevent rupture. Additionally, it can identify blockages or narrowing of blood vessels that may require treatment to restore blood flow to vital abdominal organs.
