A member asked:
Does a chest ct angiogram provide some of the same images that a regular chest ct would?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
