A member asked:
Will coronary cta with calcium score show possible cause of caroited artery bruit?

Not likely: There are ultrasound tests to reveal carotid disease, or normalcy! some bruits come from aorta might relate to aortic calcium or plaque. But the cta for coronaries is for coronaries?Generally.

Coronary CTA: Coronary cta looks at the coronary arteries. A carotid artery cta would look at the carotid. The coronary study would not normally include the carotid arteries in its imaging.
