Computed Tomography Scans
Computed Tomography (CT) scans, also briefly known as a CT scan, is a non-invasive radiological instrument used for the diagnosis of internal organs diseases such as the heart and blood vessels similarly to conventional X-rays. However, it provides multiple high-resolution images, offering much clearer and detailed images, which helps in accurately diagnosing various diseases. The images obtained from a CT scan are cross-sectional and can also present 3D images.
Heart and Blood Vessels Examination with High-Speed Computerized Tomography (Multi-Slice CT Scan)
Bangkok Heart Hospital uses High-Speed Computed Tomography (256-Slice CT Scan) to help in diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease and diseases of the major arteries such as Acute Aortic Dissection and Aortic Aneurysm. The examination is closely monitored by specialists in diagnostic radiology for the heart and blood vessels, along with a ready and caring medical team.
The examinations for the heart and blood vessels using a CT scan include:
- Cardiac CT Angiography for examining the coronary arteries
- Cardiac CT Scan for Calcium Score to measure calcium deposits in the coronary arteries walls
- Diseases of the major arteries such as Acute Aortic Dissection and Aortic Aneurysm
- Pulmonary Artery Embolism
