Reasons for Test

This test is used to help doctors identify diseased, narrowed, enlarged, and blocked blood vessels and locate where internal bleeding may be occurring. Some specific uses include:

  • Detecting atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) or an aneurysm (ballooning out of a section of a blood vessel)
  • Examining arteries in the lungs to check for blockage of a blood vessel by a blood clot or other foreign substance
  • Evaluating disease in kidney arteries
