Study Notes
Cerebral Angiography
- Cerebral angiography is a technique that uses the infusion of a radio-opaque dye into a cerebral artery to visualize the cerebral circulatory system during x-ray photography.
Purpose of Cerebral Angiography
- The purpose of cerebral angiography is to visualize the cerebral circulatory system.
Inventor of Cerebral Angiography
- Egas Moniz is credited with inventing cerebral angiography.
Radio-Opaque Dye
- The radio-opaque dye blocks x-rays, making it visible on an x-ray image, allowing for visualization of the cerebral circulatory system.
Cerebral Angiogram
- The main purpose of a cerebral angiogram is to produce images of the cerebral blood vessels, helping to diagnose and treat vascular conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and stenosis.
