What is Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography?
Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography is a minimally invasive diagnostic test to detect abnormalities in the blood vessels of your head and neck such as aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), arteriovenous fistula (AVF), carotid artery disease or other abnormalities within the blood vessels.
During the procedure, the Neurointerventional Radiologist inserts a catheter into an artery in your leg and uses X-ray guidance to find the area to be examined. Once there, contrast material is injected through the catheter and several sets of X-rays taken. The catheter is then removed. The technique is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour.
Can I bring my children to my imaging appointment?
For safety, children under 12 may not be left in the waiting room without a supervising adult. They may not accompany patients in the exam room. If supervision isn’t available, your appointment will be rescheduled. Families of Obstetrical patients will be allowed in the room for a limited period of time, but only when an adult accompanies the minor children.
