Talk:Angiography

Untitled
I find that "angiogram" now includes MR and CT methods for getting similar vascular anatomy information.

MR angiograms are useful for patients with limited renal function (usually reflected as elevated creatinine), as the iodine-based dyes used for conventional are somewhat nephrotoxic. MR angiograms can be obtained using time-of-flight sequences (which use velocity data for contrast) or a the usual gadolinium-based contrast agent.


 * Angiogram without a modifier is a fluoroscopic angiogram. There are CT/MRI variants, and digital subtraction angiograms, etc JFW | T@lk  09:27, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Did you know that MRA images are not of as higher resolution than CT Angiography? See Magnetic resonance angiography and Computed tomography angiography.

Nobel prize
Egas Moniz's Nobel prize was for his work in psychosurgery, and not angiography, so I've removed the false reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.68.207 (talk) 18:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

dated photo?
How old is that photo? I had an angiogram/plasty this week and if I had entered that room (in the photo) I would have run for the door! Can a more recent image be used? Thanks Hu Gadarn 18:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

could someone update this page re: non-invasive methods?
I don't feel qualified to make modifications on this page, but came here after learning I would be getting a coronary angiogram later this week. What surprised me here is that the procedure I had described to me was a CT Scan, non-invasive (except for an IV to inject contrast), and lots less scary/dramatic than the procedure described on this page. Could someone familiar with the non-invasive procedure(s) update this? It'd be especially helpful for reassuring those of us facing the test (and our loved ones). Thanks! Melissa Ganus 29 Jan 2007

Note to all
I have done a small overhaul to the page, I hope this meets to everyones satisfaction! Heather 18:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Glitzy_queen00

Future heading makes no sense
In the "Future" section, there is reference to the past and present but nothing in that section makes any reference to the future. --Donlibes (talk) 18:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

. I just don't have time to upload it right now. If you'd like to upload it but don't know how, I'm glad to help, just drop me a note on my talk page. delldot  &nabla;.  04:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Why does "cineangiography" redirect here?
The term is not used or explained in the article. 86.159.197.174 (talk) 02:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

'angeion' or 'aggeion' transliteration?
Why is ἀγγεῖον transliterated as 'angeion' and not (logically) as 'aggeion' ? Lawrence18uk (talk) 20:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
