It provides detailed images of the arteries in the arms, shoulders, and hands, helping to assess blood flow and detect abnormalities. This test is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as arterial blockages, stenosis, aneurysms, or trauma in the upper limb. The contrast dye enhances the clarity of the blood vessels, making it easier to identify any issues.

What is a CT Angiography Arterial Upper Limb?
CT Angiography (CTA) Arterial Upper Limb is a diagnostic imaging procedure that combines computed tomography (CT) and contrast dye to produce detailed images of the arteries in the upper extremities. It helps visualize blood vessels in the arms, shoulders, and hands to assess their condition and identify potential problems. The contrast dye enhances the visibility of the blood vessels, making it easier to detect abnormalities like blockages, aneurysms, or narrowing. This test is non-invasive and provides clear, high resolution images of the upper limb arteries. CTA is particularly helpful for diagnosing vascular conditions and guiding treatment plans.
Why is it Done?
- To detect blockages, narrowing, or stenosis in the arteries of the upper limb.
- To diagnose aneurysms or abnormal dilations of blood vessels.
- To assess vascular injuries, trauma, or post-surgical conditions.
