CT Angiography of the Cerebral Vessels
CT angiography of the cerebral vessels is a highly accurate diagnostic examination that allows detailed visualization of the arteries and veins of the brain to detect structural abnormalities and disturbances in blood circulation. The procedure is non-invasive and involves intravenous administration of a contrast agent, which provides clear three-dimensional images of the vascular network.
This method makes it possible to identify narrowing (stenosis), aneurysms, blood clots, vascular malformations, and to assess the uniformity of blood supply to brain structures.
This examination is especially important when a patient experiences frequent or sudden headaches, dizziness, visual disturbances, impaired coordination, altered consciousness, or has a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). CT angiography is also commonly used before neurosurgical procedures and for monitoring the condition of blood vessels after treatment.
CT angiography provides a three-dimensional image of the cerebral vessels in just a few minutes, which is particularly valuable in emergency situations. Thanks to the precision of this method, physicians can quickly establish a diagnosis, assess potential risks, and determine the most appropriate treatment or preventive strategy.
