angiográfiával

Angiográfia, a medical imaging technique, is used to visualize the inside of blood vessels. This diagnostic procedure plays a crucial role in identifying and assessing a wide range of vascular conditions. The process typically involves the injection of a contrast dye into the bloodstream, which then highlights the blood vessels on X-ray images. Specialized X-ray equipment captures a series of images as the dye flows through the vascular system.

There are several types of angiography, differentiated by the specific blood vessels being examined. For example, coronary angiography focuses on the arteries supplying the heart, while cerebral angiography visualizes the blood vessels in the brain. Peripheral angiography is used to examine blood vessels in the limbs.

Angiography is invaluable for diagnosing conditions such as blockages, aneurysms (bulges in blood vessel walls), malformations, and narrowing of arteries. It can also be used therapeutically, allowing for interventions like angioplasty (widening narrowed vessels) and stent placement. While generally safe, potential risks include allergic reactions to the contrast dye, bleeding at the injection site, and in rare cases, blood clots. The decision to perform an angiogram is made by a medical professional based on a patient's specific symptoms and medical history.
