Angiotomography
Definition
A modern radiological imaging investigation method (clinically known as angio-CT) combining high-resolution computed tomography technology with the injection of a contrast medium for the three-dimensional visualization of blood vessels. This well-defined structural procedure allows highly detailed rendering of the vascular lumen, detecting aneurysms, stenoses, or occlusions throughout the body, without the risks of invasive arterial catheterization.
