What is a CTA Scan?
A. CTA, or Computed Tomography Angiography, uses the CT scanner to visualize blood flow in large and tiny vessels throughout the body, from those serving the brain to those in the lungs, kidneys, arms, legs, and heart. Any individual with a family history of atherosclerotic heart disease, or a personal history of angina, heart attacks, bypass grafts, or stents should strongly consider a cardiac and coronary CT angiogram. Zwanger-Pesiri has been leading the way in CTA’s on Long Island, performing over 900 studies. As the first facility on long Island with both a 64 slice CT scanner (Siemens Sensation in Plainview), and a 128 slice CT scanner (Siemens Definition in East Setauket), Zwanger-Pesiri has acquired the most comprehensive experience. Our state of the art technology provides physicians with unmatched diagnostic images.
