Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body. It is commonly used to diagnose and evaluate conditions affecting the blood vessels, such as blockages or abnormalities. There are different types of angiography, including: Cerebral Angiography: This involves imaging the blood vessels in the brain. It is often used to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other vascular issues in the brain. Coronary Angiography: This is used to visualize the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. It is a key diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease and other heart-related conditions. Peripheral Angiography: This type of angiography focuses on blood vessels in the limbs (arms or legs). It is commonly used to evaluate peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and identify blockages or narrowing in these vessels. Pulmonary Angiography: This is used to examine the blood vessels in the lungs. It is often employed to diagnose pulmonary embolism or other vascular conditions affecting the lungs. Renal Angiography: This involves imaging the blood vessels in the kidneys. It can help identify conditions such as renal artery stenosis or aneurysms. The procedure typically involves the injection of a contrast dye into the blood vessels, which makes them visible on X-ray images. The contrast dye helps highlight the blood vessels and allows the radiologist or healthcare provider to identify any abnormalities. Angiography can be performed through different approaches, including traditional X-ray angiography, computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and fluoroscopy. The choice of technique depends on the specific medical condition, the area being examined, and other factors. While angiography is a valuable diagnostic tool, it is an invasive procedure and carries some risks. Potential complications include bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to the contrast dye. The decision to undergo angiography is made based on the individual's medical history, symptoms, and the information needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
