Arteries: It's a ct scan that looks at the arteries in the abdomen. Abnormalities like aneurysm, blood clots, calcified arteries all can be seen. It also identifiers abnormalities of the organs in the abdomen.

Arteries and organs: A cta used to see the vessels feeding the organs, including the aorta, and the arteries to kidneys, liver, spleen, and intestines. They might be looking for renal artery stenosis, one cause for uncontrolled high blood pressure, or vasculitis, but it depends completely on your history and the reason for the test. Ask your provider. The scan also shows the organs, but less than standard ct timing.
