What is "angiography"?
Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to view the inside of blood vessels and organs. During the procedure, a special dye is injected into the blood vessels to make them visible on X-ray images. This dye helps make any blockages, narrowing, or other issues in the blood vessels visible. Angiography is commonly used to examine the heart, brain, and other parts of the body to diagnose and plan treatments for conditions related to blood vessels.
Exemple
Angiography detects blockages or narrowing.
Following a car accident, my cousin had angiography to check for vascular damage.
After experiencing chest pain, my father had angiography for a cardiac evaluation.
Vascular imaging techniques, such as Doppler ultrasound or angiography, allow for the visualization of blood vessels and the detection of abnormalities.
