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.
