Artefacts in ct angio
I had a CT angio done sometime back, but when I look at x-ray images, they are full of artefacts. The vessels are blurry.. my Report, nowhere mentions about the diagnostic quality and says that no narrowing and normal Report.
I have shown these x-ray images to 2 cardiologist, but they say that it needs some special DICOM software to look and viewing on that reduces many of the artefacts
I continue suffer from Angina like pain and I don't want to go for invasive angio at all since I spent a good amount of money on this ct test and it is supposed to be repeated after long time
