About This Test
Pulmonary Angiography with HRCT (High-Resolution CT) Chest is a comprehensive imaging study designed to evaluate both the pulmonary vasculature and lung parenchyma in a single session. This combined study uses intravenous contrast to visualize the pulmonary arteries, helping detect pulmonary embolism, vascular malformations, aneurysms, or stenosis, while HRCT provides detailed assessment of the lung tissue, airways, interstitium, and pleura. It is particularly useful for patients presenting with sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained hypoxia, or suspected pulmonary disease. The high-resolution images allow clinicians to detect subtle abnormalities such as small emboli, interstitial lung disease, fibrosis, infections, or nodules. By combining vascular and parenchymal evaluation, this study provides a comprehensive assessment of the lungs and pulmonary circulation. It aids in timely diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of therapeutic interventions, improving patient outcomes in both emergency and routine clinical settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-CT scan uses X rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
condition.
condition.
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
