FAQs

Can CTA Neck/Carotid detect blockage?

Yes. It can show partial or complete occlusion of the carotid or other cervical arteries and help define the affected segment.

Yes. CTA can help identify dissection or injury to the arterial wall, depending on the clinical situation and imaging protocol.

Do I need any preparation before CTA Neck/Carotid?

Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. You may be asked to fast for a specified period, and kidney-function assessment may be recommended before contrast administration when clinically appropriate.

Should I inform the radiology team about kidney disease or previous contrast reactions?

Yes. Inform the medical team about kidney disease, previous reactions to iodinated contrast, allergies, diabetes, thyroid conditions, pregnancy, or other relevant medical conditions before the examination.
