Today, using state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT), diseases that may occur in the heart and coronary vessels can be detected in just a few minutes. By looking at the calcium (calcification level) level in the veins, it is also possible to detect stenosis caused by soft plaques in CT angiography, where the stenosis occured can be clearly seen.

It is called the tomographic imaging method, which is taken using contrast agent to evaluate anatomical disorders found in the heart, especially coronary arteries, and to treat heart diseases. With CT angiography, a 3-dimensional image of the vessels can be taken by scanning the heart in 10 seconds.
The advantages of coronary CT angiography are as follows:
The image quality is at a high level.
Because it takes a high-resolution image, it provides detailed information about anatomy and vascular connections in complicated and simple congenital heart diseases.
It does not cause discomfort to patients because its shooting is 5-7 minutes and it is quiet.
It does not cause pain during and after the procedure.
It can be used safely in patients who have previously undergone bypass or stent surgery, in patients with coronary artery disease, but unknown. It provides detailed information on the stenosis levels of the vessels and coronary anatomy.
