Projectional radiography

Acute limb ischaemia

Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) occurs when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to a limb, within 14 days of symptoms onset.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Acute limb ischaemia

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. Digital subtraction angiography and Angiography are Projectional radiography.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Angiography

Arteriovenous malformation

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Arteriovenous malformation

Carotid artery

Carotid artery may refer to.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Carotid artery

Carotid artery stenosis

Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing or constriction of any part of the carotid arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Carotid artery stenosis

Cerebral angiography

Cerebral angiography is a form of angiography which provides images of blood vessels in and around the brain, thereby allowing detection of abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms. Digital subtraction angiography and Cerebral angiography are Projectional radiography.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Cerebral angiography

Cerebral circulation

Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Cerebral circulation

Computed tomography angiography

Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used for angiography—the visualization of arteries and veins—throughout the human body.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Computed tomography angiography

Contrast agent

A contrast agent (or contrast medium) is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures or fluids within the body in medical imaging.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Contrast agent

Coronary artery bypass surgery

Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced "cabbage"), is a surgical procedure to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), the buildup of plaques in the arteries of the heart.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Coronary artery bypass surgery

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus, often known simply as diabetes, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Diabetes

Digital variance angiography

Digital variance angiography (DVA) is a novel image processing method based on kinetic imaging, which allows the visualization of motion on image sequences generated by penetrating radiations.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Digital variance angiography

Division (mathematics)

Division is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Division (mathematics)

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy, informally referred to as "fluoro", is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. Digital subtraction angiography and Fluoroscopy are Projectional radiography.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Fluoroscopy

Intracranial aneurysm

An intracranial aneurysm, also known as a cerebral aneurysm, is a cerebrovascular disorder in which weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Intracranial aneurysm

Intravenous therapy

Intravenous therapy (abbreviated as IV therapy) is a medical technique that administers fluids, medications and nutrients directly into a person's vein.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Intravenous therapy

Iodine

Iodine is a chemical element; it has symbol I and atomic number 53.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Iodine

Kidney failure

Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a medical condition in which the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products from the blood, functioning at less than 15% of normal levels. Kidney failure is classified as either acute kidney failure, which develops rapidly and may resolve; and chronic kidney failure, which develops slowly and can often be irreversible.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Kidney failure

Magnetic resonance angiography

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Magnetic resonance angiography

Nephrotoxicity

Nephrotoxicity is toxicity in the kidneys.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Nephrotoxicity

Organ transplantation

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Organ transplantation

Peripheral artery disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a vascular disorder that causes abnormal narrowing of arteries other than those that supply the heart or brain.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Peripheral artery disease

Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).

See Digital subtraction angiography and Pulmonary embolism

Radiodensity

Radiodensity (or radiopacity) is opacity to the radio wave and X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum: that is, the relative inability of those kinds of electromagnetic radiation to pass through a particular material.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Radiodensity

Renal artery stenosis

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of one or both of the renal arteries, most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Renal artery stenosis

Stroke

Stroke (also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or brain attack) is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Stroke

Wiley-Blackwell

Wiley-Blackwell is an international scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons.

See Digital subtraction angiography and Wiley-Blackwell

X-ray

X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.

See Digital subtraction angiography and X-ray

X-ray image intensifier

An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can.

See Digital subtraction angiography and X-ray image intensifier
