Coronary angiography. Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and x-rays to see how blood flows through the arteries in your heart. Coronary angiography is often done along with cardiac catheterization. This is a procedure which measures pressures in the heart chambers.
Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is the use of CT angiography to assess the coronary arteries of the heart. The subject receives an intravenous injection of radiocontrast and then the heart is scanned using a high speed CT scanner, allowing radiologists to assess the extent of occlusion in the coronary arteries, usually in order to diagnose coronary artery disease.
