Cardiology Specialist Dr. Samet Uyar at Private Gazi Hospital provided information about the Coronary CT Angiography method, known among the public as "Virtual Angio.""
What is Virtual Angio?
It is the process of imaging the heart vessels with a computed tomography device within seconds, thanks to a drug given through the vascular access, without the need to enter through the groin as in traditional angio.
Who is it recommended for?
Its use for screening purposes is very common, especially in those with chest pain and suspicion of heart attack, those with suspicious effort results, or those with intense heart disease in their family. it is an excellent method to see the vessel structure before groin angio.
What advantages does it have?
The patient is not hospitalized, the procedure only takes a few minutes. It is a painless procedure. It allows us to see calcification and soft plaques in the vessel in great detail.
What is the technological equipment in our hospital?
As Gazi Hospital, we can perform high-resolution heart vessel imaging at very low radiation doses with our latest technology CT devices. Thus, our diagnostic speed and accuracy are at the highest level.
