CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPS)

Uncover the precision of CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), a specialized imaging technique designed to assess the blood vessels in the lungs, particularly the pulmonary arteries. This procedure is primarily utilized to diagnose or rule out pulmonary embolism (PE), a blockage in the pulmonary arteries caused by a blood clot.

During a CTPA, a contrast agent is injected into a vein in your arm or hand. This contrast material illuminates the blood vessels in your lungs, enhancing the visibility of blood clots or other abnormalities. You will then be positioned on a CT scanner, which takes multiple images as it rotates around your body, providing comprehensive and detailed visualization for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
