A member asked:

Does a chest ct angiogram provide some of the same images that a regular chest ct would?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

It depends: on the technical parameters of the scan, but in general there will be some ability to assess structures other than the blood vessels on a CT angiogram. The degree of limitation will vary depending on how the scan was performed.
