ANGIOGRAPHY

Angiography is an imaging test that uses X-rays to view your body blood vessels.

 This test is used to study narrow, blocked, enlarged arteries or veins in many parts of body.

 A needle is placed into femoral artery. Catheters and wires are threaded through the arterial system to the target area.

An iodine-based contrast medium is usually injected into the system when the imaging is performed. This medium highlights the blood moving through the vessels
