Best Coronary CTA Scan in Meerut

Introduction

A Coronary CT Scan, also known as a Cardiac CT Angiogram, is a non-invasive imaging technique offered at Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre, Meerut under the expert guidance of Dr. Shalabh Bansal. This advanced procedure utilizes cutting-edge technology to create detailed, three-dimensional images of your heart and coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. By visualizing the coronary arteries, Dr. Bansal can accurately assess their condition, identifying any blockages or narrowing that may indicate coronary artery disease.

Coronary CT Scan Preparations

To ensure the accuracy of your Coronary CT Scan, certain preparations are essential. Dr. Shalabh Bansal and our team at Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre will provide specific instructions based on your individual needs. However, some general guidelines include:

  • Fasting: You will typically need to fast for a few hours before the scan.
  • Medication: Inform Dr. Bansal about any medications you are taking, as some might affect the scan results.
  • Contrast Dye: A contrast dye may be injected to enhance the visibility of blood vessels. Inform Dr. Bansal about any allergies to iodine or shellfish before the scan.
  • Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing and remove any metal objects, such as jewelry or piercings.

The Coronary CT Scan procedure itself is painless. You might experience a slight discomfort from lying still on the scanning table. The injection of contrast dye may cause a warm sensation.

A Coronary CT Scan typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks. These include allergic reactions to the contrast dye, radiation exposure, and the possibility of false-positive or false-negative results. However, the risks are generally low, and the benefits often outweigh them. Dr. Bansal will discuss these risks with you in detail.

While a Coronary CT Scan can identify blockages in the coronary arteries that can increase the risk of a heart attack, it is not specifically designed to diagnose an ongoing heart attack.

The frequency of Coronary CT Scans depends on your individual risk factors and medical history. Dr. Bansal will recommend the appropriate screening interval based on your specific needs.
Best Low Dose CT Lung Screening in Meerut

Introduction

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. At Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre, Meerut, under the expert guidance of Dr. Shalabh Bansal, we offer low-dose CT lung screening as a vital tool for early detection. This specialized imaging technique utilizes a lower radiation dose compared to standard CT scans to screen for lung cancer in high-risk individuals.

Low-Dose CT Lungs Scan Preparations

Preparing for a low-dose CT lung screening is straightforward. No specific preparations are typically required. However, it's essential to inform Dr. Bansal about any allergies, particularly to contrast dye, as it might be used in follow-up procedures if abnormalities are detected.

Low-Dose CT Lungs Scan FAQs at Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre, Meerut

Low-dose CT lung screening is recommended for individuals aged 50-80 who have a significant smoking history (at least 20 pack-years) and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, annual low-dose CT lung screenings are recommended.

While all imaging tests involve some radiation exposure, the dose used in low-dose CT lung screenings is significantly lower than standard CT scans. The benefits of early detection often outweigh the minimal risks.

While effective in detecting lung cancer at an early stage, low-dose CT lung screening may also identify nodules that are not cancerous. Follow-up tests and monitoring might be necessary to assess these nodules.

Low-dose CT lung screening is an additional tool for early detection and should complement regular check-ups and discussions with your healthcare provider.
