Computed tomographic angiography, abdomen and pelvis, with contrast material(s), including noncontrast images, if performed, and image postprocessing

AI EXPLANATION: A computed tomography angiogram (CTA) of the abdomen and pelvis is an imaging examination that uses X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed pictures of the blood vessels. A contrast dye is introduced into the bloodstream to make arteries and veins clearly visible, allowing clinicians to evaluate blood flow and identify potential conditions such as blockages, narrowing, or aneurysms.
