*What is Angiography?
Angiography is a technique that allows your radiologist to see inside your blood vessels, veins and heart chambers with the aid of injection of a contrast agent into the blood stream. The injection is usually performed under the guidance of imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT or MRI tools. An “angiograph” (also called “angiogram”) is produced which the doctor can read for diagnostic purposes. The contrasting agent allows your physician to see how blood is moving through the areas of interest, often the brain or spine.
