OPS-Code 3-240.1:
Computed tomography (CT), specialized procedure: CT ventriculography: Heart
A CT scan showed the chambers in your heart.
A CT scan involves sending X-ray beams through the body. Measurements are then taken to see how much of these beams are getting to the other side of the body. A computer then converts the measurements into images of the inside of the body.
The heart pumps blood through the body. Inside the heart are 4 chambers. There are 2 heart atria and 2 ventricles. Both heart atria and both ventricles are separated from each other by a partition.
