Arteriography Radioisotope

Radioisotope arteriography

Radioisotope arteriography is a radiographic examination of the arteries in which radiopharmaceuticals are injected into the arteries. After the administration of these drugs, their distribution in the vascular system is recorded using a gamma camera or scintillation detectors.

Radiopharmaceuticals used for arteriography contain radioactive isotopes, most often technetium-99m. They easily pass through the arteries and make it possible to obtain images of blood vessels and identify their pathologies.

Compared with radiopaque arteriography, radioisotope arteriography is a non-invasive and safer method. It allows you to obtain functional information about blood flow in the vessels and does not require the introduction of radiocontrast agents.

Thus, radioisotope arteriography is an effective method for visualizing the state of arterial vessels using radiopharmaceuticals and recording their distribution in the body. It is widely used in the diagnosis of vascular diseases.

Radioisotope arteriogram

Radiopharmaceutical arteriography is a method of examining arteries in which the blood in the artery is replaced with a special dye (radiopharmaceutical), and then a radiographic analysis is performed using a gamma camera. The main objectives of arteriographic studies are to determine the localization and identification of the extent of damage to the vascular bed of the brain
