angiograms

An angiogram is a medical imaging test used to visualize the inside of blood vessels and organs, particularly the heart and brain. During the procedure, a doctor injects a contrast dye into the blood vessels. This dye makes the vessels visible on X-ray images, allowing doctors to detect blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities. Angiograms are crucial for diagnosing conditions like heart disease or vascular issues and can guide treatment decisions. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital or clinic and can help doctors better understand a patient's vascular health.
