pulmonary angiogram

A pulmonary angiogram is a medical imaging test that helps visualize the blood vessels in the lungs. It involves injecting a special dye called contrast material into the blood flow, which makes the vessels visible on X-ray images. This procedure allows doctors to detect issues like blood clots, blockages, or abnormalities in the lung arteries. It’s a valuable tool for diagnosing conditions such as pulmonary embolism and guiding appropriate treatment. The test is typically performed in a hospital setting with careful monitoring to ensure safety during and after the procedure.
