A Computed Tomography (CT) Coronary Angiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that provides detailed images of the coronary arteries, which are responsible for delivering blood to the heart. The test is valuable in identifying and assessing coronary artery plaque—cholesterol or calcium buildup in the arterial walls—which can lead to the narrowing of arteries. This imaging technique is typically used to evaluate symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. It is also requested following abnormal results from other tests like an ECG or echocardiogram, or as a preparatory step before heart surgeries such as valve replacement. This procedure is always done at a specialist Radiology Centre.
