Explanation

A CT angiogram is a type of medical test that uses a CT scan to provide images of blood vessels in the body. It involves injecting a special dye into the blood vessels, which then shows up on the CT scan. This test can help doctors see how blood flows through the arteries and veins in the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, and other parts of the body. It can be used to detect blockages, aneurysms, or malformations of the vessels.
