About This Test
This coronary angiography evaluates arteries supplying the heart without including contrast charges. It captures high-resolution images of the coronary vessels, useful for initial assessment of narrowing, blockages, or structural abnormalities. Physicians can determine the need for contrast-based imaging or interventional procedures. It is recommended for patients with chest pain, cardiovascular risk factors, or prior cardiac events. The scan is fast, non-invasive, and helps in early detection and planning of further treatment.
