How It Works
The advanced Cardiac CT Scan in Kolkata, at Manipal Hospitals, follows a structured and patient-centred approach designed to deliver clear results. This non-invasive imaging technique enables cardiologists to examine coronary arteries, heart chambers, and surrounding vessels in exceptional detail. It aids in the early detection of cardiovascular conditions.
Before the scan, the cardiologist reviews the medical history and previous cardiac reports. Patients may be advised to refrain from consuming caffeine or smoking before the procedure. Metallic objects and accessories are removed to ensure safety during scanning.
During the scan, patients lie on a motorised table that moves through the CT scanner. ECG electrodes are attached to monitor the heart rhythm and synchronise imaging. A contrast dye may be injected intravenously to highlight blood vessels. The scanner captures multiple cross-sectional images in seconds, creating a detailed 3D view of the heart.
The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes to complete. Radiologists analyse the images and prepare a comprehensive report. The cardiologist reviews findings to determine the need for further treatment or intervention.

A Cardiac CT Scan provides several key advantages that enhance accuracy, safety, and overall cardiac care. The procedure:
-
Enables early detection of coronary artery disease and heart abnormalities
-

-
Offers a quick, non-invasive alternative to traditional angiography
-
Reduces the need for exploratory cardiac procedures
-
Ensures minimal discomfort and radiation exposure during the scan
What to Expect
Consultation and Planning
A cardiologist reviews symptoms, previous cardiac reports, medications, and risk factors. Patients are informed about fasting, avoiding caffeine or nicotine, and the use of contrast dye if required.
Preparation
Patients change into a hospital gown, remove metal accessories, and have ECG leads attached. The technician explains each step to ensure comfort and clarity.
During the Scan
The patient lies on a motorised table that moves through the CT scanner. ECG synchronisation captures images when the heart is still. If contrast is used, it is injected intravenously to highlight the coronary arteries.
After the Scan
The process is painless and completed within minutes. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. In case contrast dye is used, a brief observation ensures there are no adverse reactions.
Report & Follow-Up
Radiologists interpret the images and prepare a comprehensive report. The cardiologist then explains the findings and discusses the need for further tests, treatment, or lifestyle measures.
