Angioencephalography
Definition
A radiological imaging investigation method consisting of the visualization and structural recording of the cerebral vascular system, by injecting a radiopaque contrast medium into the carotid or vertebral arteries. This complex clinical procedure is essential in neurology and neurosurgery for detecting intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular occlusion zones responsible for strokes.
