Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
CT Coronary angiography is just like any other CT scan and their is nothing to be feared about it.
In it first a drug(dye) is given than CT scan is done to see the coronaries.
The whole procedure takes around 20-30minutes.
So just be calm and the test will be done in no time.

Thanks and regards
