CT Pulmonary angiogram

2022-10-03 10:39:07
Hi, My friend is having allergy and sometimes mild chest pain. He got it done ecg and 2d echo and both are normal. He consulted pulmonologist and he asked to go for CT pulmonary angiogram as xray was normal. Is CT pulmonary angiogram safe or does it have any side effects. If yes then what are the side effects? Please help Thanks
