Wissenswertes über "Angiography"

Die Angiographie ist ein bildgebendes Verfahren, mit dem Blutgefäße sichtbar gemacht werden,

Angiography is an imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels. A contrast agent is injected into the vessels, allowing arteries and veins to be displayed using X-ray, CT, or MRI. It is primarily used to diagnose vascular diseases, including narrowing, blockages, or aneurysms.

The procedure serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. During angiography, physicians can not only detect abnormalities but also treat them directly – for example, by dilating narrowed vessels (angioplasty) or placing stents. The method is minimally invasive and usually performed in specialized centers.

Angiography is most often applied in the context of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and stroke diagnostics. It is a key tool in modern vascular medicine, enabling early detection and targeted treatment of circulatory disorders.

Key Facts about Angiography

  • Visualization of blood vessels using contrast agent and imaging
  • Used for vascular narrowing, aneurysms, and circulation disorders
  • Enables therapy such as angioplasty and stent placement
