Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
Computed Tomography (Computed Tomography), or CT Scan for short, is a radiology tool used for external (Non–Invasive) examinations to diagnose diseases of internal organs such as the heart and blood vessels, similar to a conventional X-ray machine, but it can produce multiple high-resolution images (High Resolution) with clearer details. This helps diagnose various diseases accurately and clearly. Images obtained from a CT Scan are cross-sectional and can also provide 3-dimensional images.
Heart and vascular examination with high-speed computed tomography (Coronary CT Scan)
The Bangkok Heart Hospital uses high-speed computed tomography (256-Slice CT Scan) to help diagnose coronary artery disease (Coronary Artery Disease) and diseases of the aorta, such as acute aortic dissection (Acute Aortic Dissection) and aortic aneurysm (Aortic Aneurysm), etc. Specialist physicians in cardiac and vascular diagnostic radiology provide close supervision, together with a medical team that is ready to provide care and services
Heart and vascular examination with computed tomography includes:
- Coronary artery evaluation with computed tomography (Cardiac CT Angiography)
- Calcium scoring of the coronary artery wall (Cardiac CT Scan for Calcium Score )
- Diseases of the aorta, such as acute aortic dissection (Acute Aortic Dissection) aortic aneurysm (Aortic Aneurysm)
- Pulmonary artery embolism (Pulmonary Artery Embolism)
