Angiography Imaging Techniques

Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside of blood vessels and organs, mainly to diagnose conditions related to the arteries and veins. It typically involves injecting a special dye, called a contrast agent, into the bloodstream. This dye makes the blood vessels visible on X-ray images. Various methods exist, including traditional X-ray angiography, CT (Computed Tomography) angiography, and MR (Magnetic Resonance) angiography, each providing different views and details about blood flow and blockages, helping doctors assess cardiovascular health and plan appropriate treatments.
