What is an angiographic record?
An angiographic record is a visual or digital documentation of blood vessels or organs taken during an angiography procedure. It helps doctors diagnose conditions like blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
How are images obtained during a fluorescein angiographic procedure?
a rapid series of close-up photographs of the patient's eyes are taken, one set immediately after the dye is injected, and a second set approximately 20 minutes later once the dye has moved through the patient's vascular system
What kind of dye is used for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?
A contrast dye called iodine-based contrast material is typically used for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This dye is injected into the bile ducts and pancreatic duct during the procedure to help visualize these structures on X-ray imaging.
What makes the blood vessels visible to X-ray during an angiogram?
requires the injection of a contrast medium that makes the blood vessels visible to x ray. The contrast medium is injected through a procedure known as arterial puncture. The puncture is usually made in the groin area, armpit, inside elbow, or neck
What does ivp dye do?
An IVP can show the size, shape, and position of the urinary tract, and it ... During IVP, a dyecalled contrast material is injected into a vein
Which contrast media is used for hysterosalpinography?
Water-soluble iodinated contrast media is typically used for hysterosalpinography. This type of contrast media allows for clear visualization of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes during the procedure.
Why is a contrast dye sometimes inserted into the spinal fluid during a pallidotomy?
A contrast dye may also be injected into the spinal fluid, which allows the surgeon to visualize the brain's structure using one or more imaging techniques.
How does a angiogram work?
During an angiogram, a contrast dye is injected into the blood vessels to help visualize them on X-ray images. This procedure allows the doctor to identify blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels, such as narrowing or aneurysms, which can help in diagnosing various conditions related to the heart, brain, or other areas of the body.
What happens during phlebography?
During the procedure, the patient lies on a tilting x ray table. The area where the catheter will be inserted is shaved, if necessary, and cleaned. In some cases, a local anesthetic is injected.
What occurs during an angiographic procedure once the x rays are complete?
the catheter is slowly and carefully removed from the patient. Manual pressure is applied to the site with a sandbag or other weight for 10 to 20 minutes to allow for clotting to take place and the arterial puncture to reseal itself. A pressure bandage
What kind of images are obtained during angiographic procedures?
radiographs (x-ray pictures) or fluoroscopic images are obtained. Because of the high pressure of arterial blood flow, the contrast medium dissipates through the patient's system quickly and becomes diluted, so images must be obtained in rapid succession
What is intrathecal contrast?
Intrathecal contrast is a type of contrast agent that is injected into the space around the spinal cord (subarachnoid space) during certain types of imaging tests, such as myelograms or CT myelograms. It helps in highlighting abnormalities in the spinal cord and surrounding structures, providing clearer images for diagnosis.
