What is CT Aortography?

CT aortography is a specialized CT scan that examines the aorta — the body’s largest artery. A contrast dye is injected to highlight blood flow and reveal structural problems such as narrowing, bulging, or tears in the vessel wall.

This test produces high-resolution cross-sectional images, allowing doctors to assess the aorta quickly and accurately.

Why is CT Aortography Done?

Doctors recommend this scan to diagnose or monitor:

• Aortic aneurysm (abnormal bulging)
• Aortic dissection (tear in the wall)
• Blockages or narrowing
• Congenital vessel abnormalities
• Trauma-related injury
• Pre-surgical evaluation

Early detection helps prevent life-threatening complications.

How to Prepare for the Test

Preparation is simple:

• Avoid food for 4–6 hours before the scan
• Inform the doctor about allergies or kidney problems
• Share details of current medications
• Remove metal objects and jewelry
• Carry previous reports if available

You may be advised to drink water after the scan to help flush out the contrast dye.

CT Aortography Procedure: Step-by-Step

  1. You lie comfortably on the CT scanner table.

  2. A contrast dye is injected through a vein.

  3. The scanner captures detailed images of the aorta.

  4. The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes.

Most patients feel only mild warmth during dye injection.

Is CT Aortography Safe?

CT aortography is generally safe when performed under medical guidance.

Possible temporary effects include:
• Warm sensation during injection
• Mild nausea (rare)
• Allergic reaction to contrast (uncommon)

Your care team evaluates your medical history to minimize risks.

CT Aortography Cost in Pune

The cost can vary depending on technology, contrast use, and reporting quality. Choosing an experienced diagnostic center ensures accurate results and reliable interpretation, which are crucial for vascular conditions.

When Should You See a Doctor?

• Severe chest or back pain
• Sudden shortness of breath
• Unexplained high blood pressure

Prompt imaging can be life-saving.
