CT - Brain & Neck Angiogram

CT Brain & Neck Angiogram (CT Angiography) is an advanced imaging test that uses contrast dye and computed tomography to produce detailed images of the blood vessels supplying the brain and neck. It allows precise visualization of arteries such as the carotid and vertebral arteries, as well as intracranial vessels.

This test is highly effective in detecting conditions such as aneurysms, stenosis (narrowing), blockages, vascular malformations, and stroke-related abnormalities. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and assessing the risk of stroke.

CT angiography is non-invasive, quick, and highly accurate, making it widely used in emergency settings as well as for routine evaluation and follow-up of vascular conditions affecting the brain and neck.

This test is recommended for individuals with:

• Sudden severe headache
• Suspected stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
• Dizziness or loss of balance
• Neck pain with neurological symptoms
• Vision problems
• Weakness or numbness
• Known or suspected vascular disease
