What is Angiography?
Angiography is a type of X-ray used to examine blood vessels. Blood vessels cannot be seen clearly on a normal X-ray, so a special dye must first be injected into the blood. This will highlight the blood vessels so the surgeon can spot problems. The X-ray images created during angiography are called angiograms.
Angiography is used to check the health of blood vessels and how well blood is flowing through them. It can help diagnose or screen for various problems affecting the blood vessels, including:-
- Atherosclerosis
- Angina
