Abstract
Angiography: A Critical Tool in Modern Diagnostic and Therapeutic Medicine
Author(s): Nisank RaoAngiography is a diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize the inside of blood vessels and organs, primarily to detect blockages, aneurysms, and other vascular conditions. It is most commonly employed to examine the coronary arteries of the heart, as well as the brain, kidneys, and peripheral arteries. By using a contrast agent and advanced imaging technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI, angiography provides detailed images that help clinicians diagnose and manage vascular diseases. This article explores the various types of angiography, their procedures, benefits, risks, and the significant role they play in the treatment and management of cardiovascular and other vascular disorders. With advancements in imaging technology, angiography continues to be a cornerstone in modern medicine, enabling early detection and precise intervention for a range of vascular conditions.
