Angiogram Open Access Journals:
Angiography could also be a
medical imaging technique which is used to visualize the lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest within the arteries, veins, and the guts chambers. This is often traditionally done by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the vessel and imaging using X-ray based techniques like fluoroscopy. CT
angiography and MR angiography. The term isotope
angiography has also been used, although this more correctly is mentioned as isotope perfusion scanning. One of the foremost common angiograms performed is to ascertain the blood within the coronary arteries. A long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is used to administer the X-ray contrast agent at the required area to be visualized. The catheter is threaded into an artery within the forearm, and thus the tip is advanced through the arterial system into the most coronary artery. Depending on the sort of angiogram, access to the blood vessels is gained most ordinarily through the arteria femoralis, to seem at the left side of the guts and at the arterial system; or the jugular or vena femoralis, to seem at the proper side of the guts and at the venous system. Employing a system of guide wires and catheters, a kind of contrast agent which shows up by absorbing the X-rays, is added to the blood to form it visible on the X-ray images.
