CTA
腦血管電腦斷層掃描
CT angiography (CTA) combines a CT scan with an injection of a special dye to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues. The dye (also called a contrast) is injected through an intravenous (IV) line started in your arm or hand,. This dye i"lights up" blood vessels and tissues that are being studied. A CT scan is then employed to provide detailed cross-sectional images of your body..
CTA is particularly helpful for the following:
-
To find an aneurysm (an enlarged blood vessel that may rupture).
-
To detect atherosclerosis (blood vessels narrowed by plaque).
-
To identify blood vessels damaged by injury.
-
To locate abnormal blood vessel formations inside your brain
-
To find blood clots.
-
To evaluate tumors.
