CT Angiography

Contrast-enhanced CT mapping of arterial and venous vascular anatomy on the GE Revolution Maxima. Covers cerebral, cervical, thoracic, abdominal, and peripheral vascular territories. Published price from 996 RON (~€200) depending on region.

CT angiography at Spitalul Medicover Pipera uses the GE HealthCare Revolution Maxima scanner with intravenous iodine-based contrast injection timed to perfuse the target vascular territory at peak opacification. The scanner's rapid acquisition speed and wide-area detector allow capture of the arterial bolus across an extended longitudinal range — from the aortic arch to the iliac bifurcation, for example, or from the carotid origins to the circle of Willis — in a single contrast injection, producing isotropic volumetric data that can be reconstructed as maximum intensity projection (MIP) images, curved planar reformats along individual vessels, or interactive three-dimensional models. The published Medicover price list itemises CT angiography across a comprehensive set of vascular territories. Cerebral CT angiography (angiografie CT vase cerebrale, 996 RON ≈ €200) maps the intracranial arterial tree — including the circle of Willis, middle cerebral artery branches, anterior and posterior communicating arteries, and basilar artery — and is used to detect intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and vessel occlusion in ischaemic stroke. Cervical CT angiography (angiografie CT vase cervicale, 996 RON ≈ €200) maps the carotid and vertebral arteries from their origins in the aortic arch to their intracranial entry; this is the standard pre-procedural investigation before carotid endarterectomy and is also used for atherosclerosis assessment, fibromuscular dysplasia, and carotid artery dissection. For the thoracic and abdominal aorta, CT angiography is available as separate regional studies or as combined toraco-abdominal runs. Aortic CT angiography is the definitive investigation for suspected aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, post-operative aortic graft surveillance, and pre-operative planning for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR/TEVAR). Published prices range from 996 RON for a single aortic region (thoracic or abdominal) to 1,579 RON for a combined toraco-abdominal acquisition and 1,607 RON for the abdomino-pelvic aorta with iliac vessel mapping. Peripheral vascular CT angiography of the upper and lower extremities (angiografie CT membre superioare sau inferioare, 1,840 RON ≈ €368) maps the run-off vessels from the aortic bifurcation to the foot arteries and is used for peripheral arterial disease staging, critical limb ischaemia workup, pre-operative mapping for bypass surgery, and endovascular intervention planning. Pulmonary CT angiography (angiografie CT artere pulmonare, 996 RON ≈ €200) is the gold-standard investigation for suspected pulmonary embolism, detecting clot from the main pulmonary arteries to the segmental and sub-segmental level. This examination is available around the clock at the Pipera hospital, making it the appropriate choice for patients presenting out of hours with acute-onset dyspnoea or chest pain. All CT angiography studies include the contrast agent within the published price. The GE Revolution Maxima's intelligent post-processing automation provides the radiologist with pre-generated vessel reconstructions, reducing reporting time and improving thoroughness. Results are available the same day for scheduled studies; urgent vascular findings (aneurysm, dissection, embolism) are communicated immediately to the referring clinician.
