A CT Angiography (CTA) of the Lower Limb (Plain) is a non-contrast CT scan that evaluates the blood vessels (arteries and veins) in the legs without using contrast dye.
This scan helps detect:

  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – blood clots in deep veins
  • Aneurysms – abnormal bulging in arteries
  • Vascular injuries – due to trauma or surgery
  • Arterial blockages – that may lead to poor circulation or ulcers

Since this is a plain (non-contrast) scan, it may not provide as detailed images of the blood vessels as a CTA with contrast, but it is useful when contrast is contraindicated (e.g., kidney issues, contrast allergies).
