Angiography is a type of medical imaging technique. It is used for the purpose of visualizing the inside of blood vessels and body organs, especially the veins, arteries and the heart chambers. In this technique, a radio-opaque contrast agent is injected into the blood vessel and the imaging is done through X-ray based techniques like fluoroscopy. Some of the common types of angiography include coronary CT angiography, fluorescein angiography, microangiography, neurovascular angiography and peripheral angiography. The access to the blood vessels is gained either through the femoral vein or the femoral artery, depending upon the type of angiogram. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. | Angiography: Vascular Assessment by Tom Anniston, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
