About This Test
The Thorax CT scan with Cardiac Gating and contrast is a specialized imaging study designed to evaluate the heart, coronary arteries, lungs, major vessels, and mediastinum with high precision. Cardiac gating synchronizes the scan with the patient’s cardiac cycle, minimizing motion artifacts caused by the beating heart, while the intravenous contrast enhances visualization of blood vessels and cardiac structures. This scan is particularly useful for assessing coronary artery disease, aortic pathology, pulmonary vascular conditions, cardiac anomalies, and mediastinal masses. High-resolution imaging provides detailed anatomical and functional information, allowing clinicians to detect blockages, stenosis, aneurysms, or other abnormalities accurately. By combining cardiac gating with contrast enhancement, the study supports pre-surgical planning, interventional procedures, and timely diagnosis of thoracic or cardiac conditions. This fast, non-invasive procedure improves diagnostic accuracy and assists in effective management and treatment planning for patients with cardiac or thoracic disorders

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.
