CT of the heart, coronography

КТ серця (коронографія) у Львові в Медичному центрі NOVO

What is cardiac CT (CT coronary angiography)?
Computed tomography of the heart (CT of the heart) in Lviv is a modern non-invasive method of examination and early diagnosis of diseases. At the NOVO Medical Center, it is performed by our specialists using a Toshiba AquilionTM PRIME 3D computed tomography scanner, which scans the patient's body in 1 mm layers. The computer analyzes and combines them into a single image of the heart and coronary arteries. Subsequently, the result allows us to assess the anatomical features of this organ, identify pathology and abnormalities in its functioning. At the same time, this scan can analyze the condition of arteries and veins.

This method is also used to assess the condition of the coronary arteries after stent placement or the condition of shunts after bypass surgery (CT stentography, CT shuntography).

Cardiac CT is a common diagnostic tool for people suffering from heart problems. It is important that it allows the doctor to examine the structure of the heart and neighboring blood vessels without making any incisions.

Indications for Cardiac CT

Your treating cardiologist may prescribe a cardiac CT scan for:

  • The presence of congenital heart defects
  • The presence of cholesterol (atherosclerotic) plaques that might block coronary arteries
  • Defects or damage to the four main heart valves
  • The presence of clots (thrombi) in the heart chambers
  • To determine the cause of chest pain
  • To assess the patency of bypass grafts and stents in coronary arteries post-angioplasty or bypass surgery


CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR CARDIAC CT

  • During pregnancy
  • In cases of arrhythmia
  • With high heart rate (tachycardia)
  • Patients with an allergic reaction to iodine-containing contrast agents
  • Patients with renal insufficiency and severe diabetes


HOW CARDIAC CT IS PERFORMED IN LVIV

Cardiac CT in Lviv occurs as follows: The patient lies down on a special movable table of the CT scanner. The radiology technician may provide pillows or straps to ensure the patient remains in the correct position for the duration needed to obtain quality images.

The method involving contrast fluid involves several stages: initially, a scan of the heart area is done without contrast (assessment of coronary calcium), followed by intravenous contrast administration with simultaneous heart scanning. Before the procedure begins, a catheter is placed in the patient's vein to administer the contrast.

There will be no other people in the room. The radiology technician monitors the patient from a separate room, controlling the table movements with a remote control. Communication with the patient happens through a two-way intercom. During the scan, the operator will give commands for mandatory breath-holding for 10-20 seconds. If the patient experiences any discomfort, they can immediately inform the radiology technician.

After the necessary scanning cycle, the patient might have to wait a few minutes for the doctor to verify the quality of the images obtained.

The entire procedure will not take more than 10 minutes.


WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A CARDIAC CT

Following the examination, the radiologist at the NOVO Medical Center will provide a report and record the study on a CD, and if requested, provide the results on film.

The contrast exits the body naturally within 24 hours. Consuming a large amount of fluid will speed up this process. The results should be presented to the treating physician.

Проходили з маленькою дитиною МРТ. Щиро вдячні медперсоналу за високі навички, дитина, навіть незрозуміла, що сталося, коли їй ставили катетера, анестезіологу, яка все розказала, та контролювала процес. Після обстеження дитина почала на рецепшині капризувати-адміністратор миттю підбіг та запропонував відвідати дитячу кімнату. Особлива шана головному лікарю центру за дотримання обіцяного та надання знижки. Нехай повернеться Вам усе сторицею
