A venous X-ray accomplished via contrast medium is known as a venogram. This imaging technique involves injecting a contrast dye into a vein to enhance visualization of the venous system on the X-ray, allowing for the assessment of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or venous insufficiency. Venograms are useful in diagnosing abnormalities in blood flow and vein structure.
A myelogram is a radiographic study of the spinal cord using contrast medium. The process is known as myelography.
The record of a study of the spinal cord using contrast medium is a myelogram. The process of making the record is known as myelography.
CPT code 75774 is used to describe a diagnostic imaging procedure known as a "venography" of the lower extremities, specifically involving the injection of contrast material into the veins of the legs to visualize venous structures. This code is typically used to assess conditions related to venous insufficiency, thrombosis, or other vascular disorders. The procedure helps in the diagnosis and management of venous diseases.
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
A venous duct is a tubular structure that carries venous blood from one place to another in the body. The most well-known example is the ductus venosus, which is a temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava.
The condition characterized by inadequate venous circulation due to partial vein blockage or leakage of venous valves is known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This condition can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and skin changes in the affected legs. Over time, CVI can result in complications like varicose veins or venous ulcers if left untreated. It often arises from factors like prolonged standing, obesity, or previous blood clots.
Venous fluid overload refers to an increase in the amount of blood volume within the venous system, which can lead to venous congestion. This can occur due to conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease, causing symptoms like edema, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment involves addressing the underlying condition and managing fluid intake.
Venous return to the heart is influenced by several factors, including venous pressure, the pressure gradient between the veins and the heart, and the functioning of the valves within the veins. Additionally, muscle contractions during physical activity help propel blood back to the heart, a phenomenon known as the muscle pump. Respiratory movements also play a role, as changes in thoracic pressure during breathing can facilitate venous return. Lastly, blood volume and overall vascular resistance can impact the efficiency of venous return.
Aqueous humor drains into the scleral venous sinus, also known as the canal of Schlemm. This drainage pathway helps maintain intraocular pressure by allowing fluid to exit the eye. A blockage in this drainage system can lead to increased pressure inside the eye, known as glaucoma.
selective medium
Medium is not known and its density is not known.
Blood that has less oxygen is referred to as deoxygenated blood, while blood that has no oxygen is known as venous blood. Deoxygenated blood is typically found in veins returning to the heart, while venous blood is present in the lungs where oxygen is exchanged.
