Can a regular ct detect a blocked artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely: A regular ct not likely to pick up arterial disease. If this was a ct angiogram, higher chance of finding significant disease. If a ct calcium score, less likely, but still better chance to find arterial blockage.
