“What do I wear to a coronary CTA?”
I'm 40 years old and I'm due for a coronary CTA. Do I need to wear special clothing for this?

The answer is normal clothing. If you have any metal on your chest it will be removed prior to a CTA (such a jewelry) primarily so as not to cause any artifact. Plenty of water and hydration before the study as they will use IV contrast during the CT angiogram. Other precautions: One should not be allergic to IODINATED CONTRAST and the kidney function should be normal prior to any contrast exposure.
All the best.
