Pneumoangiography: Examination using air and angiographic techniques
Pneumoangiography is a research method that combines two techniques: pneumography and angiography. This procedure is used to obtain detailed images of blood vessels and evaluate their condition.
The key to pneumoangiography is the use of an air emulsion that is injected into the patient's blood vessels. Air introduced into the vessels provides high-contrast images and allows physicians to observe and study the structure and function of the vessels.
The process of pneumoangiography begins with the introduction of a concentrated air solution into the patient’s vessels. Then a series of x-rays are taken, which record the circulation of the air emulsion through the vessels. Doctors can analyze these images and obtain information about the degree of vessel permeability, possible stenoses (narrowings) and abnormalities in the structure of the circulatory system.
Pneumoangiography is widely used in the medical diagnosis and treatment of various vascular conditions. It can help identify arterial diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, aneurysms and vascular tumors. In addition, pneumoangiography can be used to plan surgical interventions and endovascular procedures such as angioplasty and embolization.
Pneumoangiography is a relatively safe procedure, but it may be associated with certain risks, such as allergic reactions to injected air or contrast material, infections, and vascular damage. Therefore, before performing pneumoangiography, the patient is recommended to consult with a doctor and discuss all possible side effects.
In conclusion, pneumoangiography is a valuable testing technique that allows doctors to obtain detailed images of blood vessels and detect various pathologies. This method helps in the diagnosis and treatment planning of vascular diseases, helping to more accurately determine the optimal approach to the patient.
