Arteriography
Definition
A specialized medical imaging diagnostic method consisting of taking X-ray images of an artery or an arterial system after injecting a radiopaque contrast medium into the bloodstream. This medical procedure allows detailed visualization of the vascular lumen, being essential for detecting stenoses, aneurysms, occlusions, or arterial malformations in order to establish a surgical or interventional treatment plan.
