Description
CT Brachial Angiography is a specialized CT imaging test used to evaluate the blood vessels of the arms, including the brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries. It provides detailed images of blood flow and helps identify blockages, narrowing, aneurysms, or vascular injuries affecting the upper limbs.
This advanced, non-invasive technique uses contrast-enhanced CT technology to produce high-resolution images of the arteries, allowing doctors to accurately diagnose and plan treatment for vascular conditions.
What Is CT Brachial Angiography?
CT Brachial Angiography is a type of CT angiography in which a contrast dye is injected into a vein to make the arteries of the arms visible on CT images. The scan shows the structure and flow of blood through the vessels in real time.
Why Is CT Brachial Angiography Performed?
This test is recommended to:
- Detect blockages or narrowing of arm arteries
- Evaluate poor circulation or arm pain
- Assess vascular injury after trauma
- Locate aneurysms or abnormal blood vessels
- Plan vascular or surgical procedures
How Is the Scan Performed?
A contrast dye is injected through a vein in the arm. You will lie on a CT scanner table while the scanner takes rapid images as the dye flows through the blood vessels.
The procedure is painless and typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.
Benefits of CT Brachial Angiography
- Non-invasive alternative to conventional angiography
- Highly detailed images of arm blood vessels
- Quick and accurate diagnosis
- Helps guide treatment and surgical planning
