@ent.explains: I remember the first time I went down to the Interventional radiology suite and got to see this cerebral angiography. I thought and still think it’s beautiful. You can see all the blood vessels in the brain in a movie. Cerebral angiography is a diagnostic test that uses X-rays and a contrast medium to visualize the blood vessels in the brain and neck. It is a minimally invasive procedure that helps doctors diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain. How is Cerebral Angiography Performed? During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery in the leg or arm and guided to the blood vessels in the brain. A contrast medium is then injected through the catheter, and X-rays are taken to produce detailed images of the blood vessels. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and sedation, and the patient is awake during the test. What are the Indications for Cerebral Angiography? Cerebral angiography is used to: Diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and stenosis (narrowing) of blood vessels in the brain Identify the source of bleeding in the brain Guide treatment for conditions such as stroke, cerebral vasospasm, and cerebral edema Monitor the effectiveness of treatment for conditions such as aneurysms and AVMs #ent #otolaryngology #stroke #xray #medical #blood #contrast #ct #mri #brain #cerebral #angiography #migraine #headache #hearingloss #surgery #medicalstudent #medicaltiktok #instagram #learn #interventionalradiology
