X-ray vasography

X-ray vasography (X-ray + vasography; vascular radiography) is a method of X-ray examination of veins and arteries using a contrast agent. During X-ray vasography, a contrast agent is injected into a vein or artery, after which X-rays are taken in various projections. The method allows you to obtain an image of the vessels and determine their size, shape, condition of the walls and the presence of changes. X-ray vasography is widely used in the diagnosis of diseases of the cardiovascular system, including atherosclerosis, thrombosis, varicose veins, and aneurysms. In addition, X-ray vasography is used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment of vascular diseases and determine the location and degree of vascular stenosis.

X-ray imaging is one of the imaging methods used to study the vascular system of the body. This research method is based on the use of X-rays and involves the introduction of a contrast agent into the vessels before the procedure. X-rays pass through the tissue and are reflected from the walls of blood vessels, allowing an image of the vasculature to be obtained.

The main advantage of X-ray imaging is its high accuracy and ability to show small blood vessels. This allows doctors to identify various vascular pathologies, including aneurysms, narrowing and dilatation, as well as assess the condition of the arteries and veins.

There are several types of x-rays, each designed for different purposes. For example, angiography is used to diagnose vascular diseases of the brain, heart and kidneys. Arteriography is intended to visualize the vessels of the limbs and legs, and venography is used to study the venous system.

It is important to note that X-ray procedures may have certain risks. Patients may experience some discomfort during the procedure as they are painful. In addition, X-ray irritation may cause allergic reactions in some people to the injected contrast agents. Therefore, you should always consult your doctor before undergoing this procedure and consider the possible side effects and risks.
