Image for Neuroangiography

Neuroangiography

Neuroangiography is a specialized medical imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels in the brain and neck. It involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or arm, and guiding it to the brain's arteries. A contrast dye is injected, making the vessels visible on X-ray images. This helps doctors identify abnormalities like aneurysms, blockages, or bleeding. The procedure provides detailed information essential for diagnosing and planning treatment for various neurological conditions, allowing interventions to be more precise and effective.
