Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) stands as an advanced and non-invasive imaging modality designed for comprehensive visualization of the coronary arteries. Leveraging cutting-edge computed tomography (CT) technology, CCTA generates highly detailed three-dimensional images, offering a thorough assessment of the coronary arteries' condition. This diagnostic technique proves instrumental in identifying potential blockages or irregularities in these crucial blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with essential oxygen and nutrients. CCTA plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), a prevalent cardiovascular condition characterized by the accumulation of plaque within the arteries, leading to diminished blood flow to the heart. Unlike invasive alternatives such as traditional angiography, which involves the insertion of a catheter into the blood vessels, CCTA distinguishes itself by its non-invasive approach. Conducted externally, this procedure eliminates the need for invasive instruments, contributing to a safer and more patient-friendly experience.
