CT
Angiography Abdomen With Both Lower Limb Contrast
Also Known As:
ct angiography abdomen
ct angiography lower limb
About This Test
This CT angiography evaluates the abdominal arteries and both lower limb arteries using intravenous contrast dye, which enhances vessel visibility. The test provides a complete map of major vessels supplying the abdomen, pelvis, thighs, knees, and feet. Contrast allows doctors to clearly detect blockages, stenosis, plaque buildup, aneurysms, or any abnormal vessel formations. It is highly recommended for patients with severe leg pain, non-healing ulcers, diabetes-related poor circulation, suspected deep vein or arterial problems, or peripheral vascular disease. The scan helps in treatment planning for angioplasty, stent placement, or bypass surgery. It offers accurate measurement of vessel diameter, blood flow patterns, and structural changes. This angiography is also useful for monitoring previously treated vessels or post-surgical repairs. The procedure is quick, non-surgical, and provides highly detailed images essential for vascular assessment and long-term management

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.
