Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to evaluate the internal structure and health of blood vessels. The word "angiography" is derived from the Greek words "anjion" (vessel) and "grapho" (to write or draw). This method plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases and is applied in various fields of modern medicine.
What is Angiography?
Angiography is an imaging test performed to evaluate the internal structures of blood vessels and blood flow. During the procedure, a contrast material (a colored liquid) is typically injected into the vessels, and this substance is visualized using devices such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The contrast material allows the blood vessels to be clearly visible, enabling the detection of blockages, narrowing, and other abnormalities.
