A member asked:

I was wondering is a ct angiogram of the chest the same as ct chest with contrast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CT techniques: They are similar in many ways. However, the timing of the contrast for CT angiogram is different to allow for better visualization of the blood vessels in the chest.

Dr Wright and 3 doctors agreed
