CT Angiography Treatment In India At Affordable Low Cost

CT Angiography

We Care India partner hospitals use a state-of-the-art multi-row detector CT scanner; the Siemens Sensation 64 Detector.

A Coronary CTA (CT Angiography) is a heart-imaging test currently undergoing rapid development and evaluation for non-invasively determining whether either fatty deposits or calcium deposits have built up in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle.

How does Cardiac CT Angiography work ?

A Coronary CTA comes from a special type of X-ray examination. Patients undergoing a Coronary CTA scan receive an iodine-containing contrast dye as an IV solution to ensure the best images possible. The same IV in the arm may be used to give a medication to slow or stabilize the patient’s heart rate for better imaging results. During the examination, which usually takes about 10 minutes, X-rays pass through the body and are picked up by special detectors in the scanner.

Your doctor uses the cardiac CT to evaluate : -

• The heart muscle
• The coronary arteries
• The pulmonary veins
• The thoracic and abdominal aorta
• The sac around the heart (pericardium)

What to expect in Cardiac CT Angiography :

• You will change into a hospital gown.

• A nurse will insert an IV line into a vein in your arm to administer contrast (dye) during your procedure.

• You will lie on a special scanning table.

• The technologist will clean three small areas of your chest and place small, sticky electrode patches on these areas. Men may expect to have their chest partially shaved to help the electrodes stick. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor, which charts your heart’s electrical activity during the test.

• You will lie on the scanner table, and you will be asked to raise your arms over your head for the duration of the exam.

• During the scan, you will feel the table move inside a donut-shaped scanner. You will receive a contrast agent through your IV to help produce the images. It is common to feel a warm sensation as the contrast circulates through your body.

• Once the technologist is sure that all the information is collected, the IV will be removed.

How is Coronary CTA different from other heart tests ?

One of the most common heart tests is the coronary angiogram, or cardiac catheterization. This test is more invasive and requires more patient recovery time than Coronary CTA. Patients who receive coronary angiograms must have a catheter, or small transport tube, threaded into their coronary arteries, which run along the outside of the heart. The catheter typically is inserted into a blood vessel in the upper thigh and then maneuvered up to the coronary arteries. The catheter then is used to inject the iodine dye needed for the test, which uses X-rays to record “movies” of interior of the coronary arteries.

What type of Coronary CTA is used in Indian Hospitals ?

Most of Indian Hospitals use more than one type of multi-detector/multi-slice system for Coronary CTA. Currently, the hospitals are using 64-detector scanners.

Patient with mild hyperlipidemia and atypical chest pain. Curved reconstructions of the left anterior descending coronary artery show just beyond its origin, a plaque [arrows] consisting largely of “soft” non-calcified (gray) material but with a small central calcification (white). These reconstructions and the dynamic 3D surface reconstruction demonstrate that the major branches of the left and right coronary artery systems are free of significant narrowing.

Asymptomatic patient with pronounced hyperlipidemia and a strong family history of coronary artery disease. Curved reconstructions and a colored surface reconstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery show, in addition to generalized mild irregular wall thickening and slightly arterial enlargement from early diffuse atherosclerosis, several calcified plaques [arrows] without significant narrowing.

How can I become an Electrocardiograph Technician (ECG tech)?

I live in Miami, FL. The only accredited schools I found offered a 2 year program. Is there a faster way to become an ECG tech. or another cardiovascular tech? Can you suggest any specific schools?
