About this test
What is CT Angio Neck & Brain Vessels?
CT Angio Neck and Brain Vessels is a specialised CT angiography examination used to visualise the blood vessels supplying the brain and the major arteries in the neck. It generally involves injecting an iodine-based contrast material into a vein to produce detailed images of the blood vessels.
Why is CT Angio Neck & Brain Vessels Performed?
A doctor may recommend this scan to evaluate suspected vascular conditions, including narrowing or blockage of arteries, aneurysms, vascular malformations and other abnormalities affecting blood flow to the brain.
What Can the Scan Help Evaluate?
- Narrowing of the carotid and other neck arteries
- Blockages in major arteries supplying the brain
- Intracranial aneurysms
- Abnormal connections or malformations in blood vessels
- Suspected arterial dissection
- Vascular abnormalities associated with certain stroke presentations
How is the Scan Performed?
The patient lies on the CT scanner table while contrast material is usually administered through an intravenous line. Images are acquired as the contrast travels through the blood vessels. The examination is generally completed within a short scanning period, although preparation and post-scan instructions may take additional time.

- Share details of kidney disease, diabetes, current medications and other relevant medical conditions.
