Overview
- Computed tomography angiography (CTA or CT Angiography) can used to identify thrombosis, and is associated with the diagnosis of thrombophilia
- A Chest CTA is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
- CT scans can also be used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis, renal vein thrombosis, and cerebral venous thrombosis
