Phlebography (Phlebography)

Phlebography is an X-ray method for examining veins, allowing them to be imaged in photographs.

The essence of the method is the introduction of a contrast agent into a vein and subsequent radiography. The contrast agent provides a contrasting image of the veins in the pictures.

Phlebography is used to diagnose venous diseases (thrombosis, varicose veins, etc.), as well as to assess the patency of veins before surgical interventions.

From the images obtained during phlebography, the doctor can determine the location and extent of damage to the veins, and the degree of disturbance of blood flow.

Phlebography is an invasive diagnostic method, as it requires the introduction of contrast into the venous bed. Complications of the method include allergic reactions to contrast.

In general, venography provides valuable information about the state of the venous system and is widely used in vascular surgery.

Phlebography is a diagnostic method that is used to study the condition of veins and blood vessels. It is based on the injection of a special dye into a vein, which allows the vessels and veins to be visualized on X-ray images.

Phlebography can be used to diagnose various venous diseases, such as varicose veins, thrombosis, and to determine the severity of the disease. In addition, venography can help the doctor determine the cause of the disease and choose the most effective treatment method.

The venography procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. The patient lies on his back and the doctor injects dye into the vein through a catheter. After this, X-rays are taken to visualize the veins and vessels.

The results of venography can be used to determine the stage of the disease, select the optimal treatment method and evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy. In addition, this diagnostic method may be useful in determining the risk of thrombosis in patients with varicose veins or other vascular diseases.

Thus, venography is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the veins and blood vessels, which helps the doctor choose the most effective treatment method and prevent the development of complications.
