Handbook of Angiography Tom Anniston

The medical imaging technique that is used to visualize the lumen of blood vessels and organs of the body is known as angiography. It majorly examines arteries, veins and the heart chambers. This technique is used by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging using X-ray based techniques. Coronary angiography, fluorescein angiography, microangiography, neurovascular angiography and peripheral angiography are some examples of angiography techniques. Coronary angiography is one of the most common angiograms which are performed to visualize the blood in the coronary arteries. Cerebral angiography can lead to complications like stroke, allergic reaction, thrombosis and embolism formation. Medical procedure in which a fluorescent dye is injected into the bloodstream falls under the domain of fluorescein angiography. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of angiography. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of this field. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
