A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a non-invasive imaging test that combines multiple X-rays to create cross-sectional images of your body. It’s especially useful for detecting internal injuries, bone disorders, tumors, infections, and cardiovascular diseases.
At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, we use a 100-slice/sec Multislice CT scanner – one of the most advanced in East Delhi – offering rapid, precise, and low-radiation imaging, especially for heart and brain scans.
CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is a heart-specific CT scan that visualizes the coronary arteries – the vessels that supply blood to your heart.
It helps detect:
Narrowed or blocked arteries
Risk of heart attack
Plaque buildup (atherosclerosis)
Congenital heart abnormalities
It’s the best non-invasive alternative to conventional angiography, which involves inserting a catheter.
🩺 For Heart Health
Detects coronary artery disease (CAD) early
Assesses chest pain or breathlessness causes
Determines the need for angioplasty or bypass surgery
Helps in pre-surgery heart evaluation
🧠 For Brain & Body
Diagnose strokes, tumors, brain bleeds, or trauma
Check lungs for infections, fibrosis, or clots (HRCT Chest)
Scan bones for fractures, tumors, or 3D reconstruction
View abdominal organs for stones, cancer, or inflammation
Perform CT Enterography to examine intestines
1. 🛏️ Comfortable Positioning
You lie on a moving table that slides into the circular CT scanner.
2. 🌪️ High-Speed Scanning
Our 100-slice scanner captures multiple images per second, ensuring clarity even with heartbeats or motion.
3. 💉 Contrast Dye (if needed)
A contrast agent may be injected into a vein to highlight blood vessels or organs. It’s safe and monitored.
4. ⏱️ Rapid Test
Most scans take only 5–10 minutes, and you’re done!
