Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT): Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of heart: CT coronary angiography: Without calculation of myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFRmyo)

You have had a CT scan done.

A CT scan involves sending X-rays through the body. This produces images of the part of the body that has been scanned. The images show the body as though it were cut into slices. This enables a view of the inside of the body.

You have had a CT scan done on your heart, using contrast agents. A contrast agent is a fluid. This fluid makes certain tissues show up better on CT images. The blood vessels in your heart that supply blood to the heart have been examined.
