Cardiac CT angiography (CVCT), also known as coronary CT angiography, is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the coronary arteries and assess the presence of blockages or narrowing. It utilizes computed tomography (CT) technology to generate detailed images of the heart and surrounding blood vessels.During a CVCT procedure, a contrast dye is injected into a vein, which highlights the blood vessels, allowing for clear visualization on the CT images. The patient lies on a table that moves through the CT scanner, which captures multiple cross-sectional images of the heart and coronary arteries.
