Known as cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), the new fast-scan technology provides pictures that are about as accurate as those obtained by catheterization without invading the body.

A cardiac CT angiogram is a test that essentially conducts "a CAT scan for the heart," said Dr. Aeshita Dwivedi, a cardiologist at Northwell Lenox Hill Hospital.

Healthcare professionals may also take an angiogram during cardiac catheterization, using contrast dye and imaging tests. Alternatively, they may inject the dye and take a CT scan without cardiac ...
