COMPARISON OF CARDIAC IMAGING TECHNIQUES: CT,CCTA AND CMR

Abstract

Angiography is the X-ray imaging of blood vessels using contrast agents injected into the bloodstream

CTCA uses computed tomography (CT) scanning to take pictures or images (angiograms) of the coronary arteries of the beating heart. These arteries supply blood to the heart muscle, and disease of these vessels (atherosclerosis) is responsible for most heart attacks.
