Angiography / Venography. Angiography and Venography are specialized X ray exams of the arteries and veins to diagnose blockages and other blood vessel problems. One of the most common reasons for Angiograms is to see if there is a blockage or narrowing in a blood vessel that may interfere with the normal flow of blood through the body.
Sep 01 2004 Computed tomographic CT pulmonary angiography is becoming the standard of care at many institutions for the evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. This pathologic condition whether acute or chronic causes both partial and complete intraluminal filling defects which should have a sharp interface with intravascular contrast material. In
Fluorescein angiography FA is a great way to evaluate retinal circulation. Nowadays OCT has greatly reduced the number of FAs performed though FA still remains a very important modality for assessing many circulatory dysfunctions of the retina. FAs can be evaluated based on distinct phases of dye circulation.
Patients scheduled for vascular angiography are often anxious and frightened. High levels of anxiety may result in more difficult and painful procedures. Past research has reported mixed results for anxiety reduction techniques in other procedures settings such as education cognitive behavioral sk

Angiography provides detailed images of blood vessels commonly those in the heart lungs brain and legs. Angiography can provide still images or motion pictures called cineangiography . IV contrast is injected through a catheter inserted into a blood vessel that connects with the vessel to be imaged. A local anesthetic or a sedative may be
Abnormal Fluorescein Angiography. Deviations from the normal FA are most often described in terms of relative fluorescence. Hypofluorescence is a reduction from the normal expected fluorescence and hyperfluorescence refers to an increased or abnormal fluorescence. Hypofluorescence can occur secondary to a. blocking effect or.
Computed tomography angiography also called CT angiography or CTA is a computed tomography technique used for angiography the visualization of arteries and veins throughout the human body.Using contrast injected into the blood vessels images are created to look for blockages aneurysms dilations of walls dissections tearing of walls and stenosis
Angiography angiogram or arteriograms are terms that describe a procedure used to identify narrowing or blockages in the arteries in the body. The procedure is the same regardless of what area of the body is being viewed. A small tube called a catheter is placed in a large blood vessel at the top of the leg or in the groin region.
Cerebral angiography is a very detailed clear and accurate picture of the blood vessels in the brain. This is especially helpful when a surgical procedure or a neuroradiologic intervention is being considered. By selecting the arteries using a catheter it allows physicians to assess only the blood vessels
Purpose of the Test Cardiac computed tomography angiography or CTA is a noninvasive test that uses special X rays to focus on the coronary arteries.It allows the physician to see if you have blockages in the heart arteries. As part of the test you will be given an iodine based contrast material or dye that will be injected into a vein in the arm to see the vessels in your heart.

CT coronary angiogram is an effective imaging test used to identify the plaque depositions in the arteries associated with the heart. This imaging test does not use any type of catheter insertion to the heart. Instead the CT coronary angiogram uses the powerful X ray equipment to produce pictures of the blood vessels and the heart.
