What is CT angiography?

CT angiography, or vascular CT, — is a diagnostic method that combines computed tomography with the administration of a contrast agent. The contrast temporarily fills the vessels, allowing the doctor to see their shape, lumen, patency, and areas of narrowing or dilation.

Unlike a regular CT scan, angiography provides more information specifically about the vascular system. The examination may be needed to assess the arteries of the brain, neck, pulmonary arteries, renal arteries, lower limbs, or major arteries of the body.

CT angiography does not replace a consultation with a specialized doctor, but it helps to quickly obtain important diagnostic information for further treatment, monitoring, or surgical planning.

When is vascular CT prescribed?

CT angiography may be recommended by a neurologist, vascular surgeon, cardiologist, general practitioner, pulmonologist, urologist, surgeon, or another specialist. Most often, the examination is prescribed when it is necessary to assess the condition of the arteries, blood supply to organs, or rule out dangerous vascular pathologies.

Vascular CT may be indicated in cases of:

• suspected narrowing or blockage of arteries;
• suspected aneurysm;
• impaired blood circulation in the brain;
• frequent headaches, dizziness, episodes of loss of consciousness;
• suspected pulmonary embolism;
• pain, numbness, coldness, or weakness in the legs;
• suspected renal artery pathology;
• preparation for surgery or follow-up after treatment;
• the need to clarify the results of ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, or other examinations.

The decision on whether CT angiography is needed is made by a doctor, taking into account symptoms, medical history, previous examinations, and possible contraindications to contrast enhancement.

What types of CT angiography are available at HBMedical?

The HBMedical medical center in Kyiv performs different types of CT angiography of blood vessels. The type of examination depends on which anatomical area needs to be assessed.

CT angiography of the cerebral arteries

The examination makes it possible to assess the arteries of the brain, their patency, anatomical features, possible narrowing, aneurysms, or other vascular changes. This type of vascular CT may be recommended for neurological symptoms, suspected cerebral circulation disorders, or before treatment planning.

CT angiography of the cerebral and neck arteries with the aortic arch

This is an extended examination that covers the vessels of the head, neck, and the area of the aortic arch. It may be prescribed when a comprehensive assessment of the blood supply to the brain and the major arteries of the neck is required.

CT of the pulmonary arteries according to the PE protocol

CT of the pulmonary arteries is performed when pulmonary embolism or other blood flow disorders in the pulmonary vessels are suspected. This is an important examination in cases where the condition of the pulmonary arteries needs to be assessed quickly.

CT angiography of the renal arteries

The examination helps to assess the vessels that supply blood to the kidneys. It may be recommended when renal artery stenosis, vascular abnormalities, or the causes of certain kidney function disorders need to be clarified.

CT angiography of the lower limbs

Vascular CT of the lower limbs makes it possible to assess the arteries of the legs, detect areas of narrowing, impaired patency, or other changes that may affect tissue blood supply. The examination may be relevant in cases of leg pain while walking, a feeling of coldness, numbness, skin color changes, or suspected vascular pathology.

CT angiography of the major arteries of the body

This is an extensive vascular examination from the aortic arch to the lower limbs. It is prescribed when it is necessary to comprehensively assess the large arteries of the body and obtain a broader picture of the vascular system.

It is better to check the current price of CT angiography when booking, as the final cost may depend on the doctor’s referral, the scope of the examination, and the patient’s additional needs.

How is CT angiography performed?

Before the examination, the patient undergoes a short preparation: medical staff clarify complaints, referral details, allergy to iodine or contrast agents, concomitant diseases, and creatinine test results.

During the procedure, the patient lies on the CT scanner table. A catheter is inserted into a vein, through which the contrast agent is administered. After that, the required area is scanned. It is important to lie still and follow the instructions of the medical staff if you need to hold your breath for a few seconds.

The procedure itself is usually quick. After scanning, the radiologist analyzes the obtained images, assesses the vessels, and prepares a report.

How to prepare for vascular CT with contrast?

CT angiography is always performed with contrast enhancement, so preparation is more important than before a regular CT scan without contrast.

Before the examination, you need to:

• have a doctor’s referral or a clear understanding of which area needs to be examined;
• take a blood creatinine test to assess kidney function;
• inform the staff about allergies to iodine, contrast agents, or medications;
• notify them about diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disease, bronchial asthma, pregnancy, or breastfeeding;
• bring the results of previous examinations, if available;
• check when booking whether you need to limit food intake before the procedure.

Do not stop taking medications that you use regularly on your own. If you have chronic diseases or take medications that may affect kidney function or metabolism, be sure to inform the doctor or administrator when booking.

Are there any contraindications?

CT angiography is performed using X-ray radiation and a contrast agent, so it has certain limitations. The examination may be contraindicated or require additional approval in cases of pregnancy, severe kidney failure, allergy to iodine-containing contrast, severe reactions to contrast in the past, decompensated conditions, or certain thyroid diseases.

If you have any doubts, it is better to mention them before booking. HBMedical specialists will explain what information is needed before the procedure and whether an additional consultation with a doctor is required.

What does the patient receive after CT angiography?

After vascular CT, the patient receives the examination results and a report from a radiologist. If necessary, the results can be shown to a specialized doctor: a neurologist, vascular surgeon, cardiologist, pulmonologist, urologist, or general practitioner.

The CT angiography report helps the doctor assess the condition of the vessels, compare the results with the symptoms, and determine the next steps: monitoring, additional examinations, medical treatment, or consultation with a narrow specialist.

Frequently asked questions about CT angiography

What does CT angiography show?

CT angiography shows the condition of blood vessels: their course, lumen, patency, areas of narrowing or dilation, possible aneurysms, blood clots, blood flow disorders, or other vascular changes. The final interpretation of the results is always made by a doctor, taking into account the patient’s symptoms and medical history.

How does CT angiography differ from a regular CT scan?

A regular CT scan evaluates organs, tissues, bones, or a specific anatomical area. CT angiography is focused specifically on assessing blood vessels and is performed with intravenous contrast enhancement.

Can vascular CT be done without contrast?

For a full CT angiography examination, contrast is required because it makes it possible to clearly see the vessels on the images. Without contrast, the assessment of arteries will be less informative or impossible for a specific clinical task.

How much does CT angiography cost at HBMedical?

For example, CT angiography of the renal arteries — 3190 UAH, CT angiography of the cerebral arteries — 3410 UAH, CT angiography of the lower limbs — 5390 UAH.
