Foundations Of CT Angiography

This module introduces the essential principles of CT angiography and explains how technologists acquire high resolution vascular imaging using optimized contrast timing and rapid acquisition. It describes how arterial venous and delayed phases support evaluation of vascular disease trauma and organ perfusion. The content highlights the importance of bolus tracking injection rates and patient preparation. It also explains how technologists adjust pitch rotation time and slice thickness to improve vascular detail. The module emphasizes the importance of radiation reduction strategies and communication with radiologists. By understanding CT angiography technologists can support accurate diagnosis and safe effective imaging.
