FILM DSA 2 Flashcards
supplies bloodto the small intestine and the ascending and
transverse colon.
superior mesenteric artery
SMA arises at about the level of __
and descends to LSS 1. The CIT follows these steps:
• To demonstrate the SMA, center the patient to themidline of the image receptor. • Direct the central ray to the level of __
L1
L3
__ artery branches from the left side of the celiac artery and supplies blood to the spleen and
pancreas.
splenic artery
injection can of demonstrate the
portal venous system on the late venous images.
Splenic artery
Representative injection and
imaging programs for a standard splenic arteriogram are __ milisec for a __ml total volume of contrast
medium and two images per second for 5 seconds followed by one per second for 5 seconds.
8 m/s for 40 ml
__ artery normally arises from the aorta at
the level of T12 and carries blood to the stomach and
the proximal duodenum, liver, spleen, and pancreas.
celiac
artery branches from the right
side of the celiac artery and supplies circulation to
the liver, stomach, and the proximal duodenum, and
pancreas
hepatic
studies are usual
ly performed to visualize tumor vascularity or to rule
out atherosclerotic disease, thrombosis, occlusion,
and bleeding.
Abdominal visceral arteriographic
Under fluoroscopic control, a catheter is passed from a peripheral vein
through the vena cava and right side of the heart and into the pulmonary
arteries. This technique is usually employed for a selective injection, and
the examination is primarily performed for the evaluation of pulmonary
embolic disease. Simultaneous AP and oblique projections of the supine
patient are recommended for this procedure
Pulmonary Arteriography
most satisfactory visualization of the aorta is
achieved by placing a multihole catheter into the
aorta at the desired level, utilizing the Seldinger
technique. Aortography is usually performed with the
patient in the supine position for simultaneous frontal
and lateral imaging with the central ray perpendicular
to the imaging system
Aortography
when peripheral artery sites are unavailable a catheter maybe sometimes introduced into aorta using approach
Translumbar aortic approach
artery supplies blood to the splenic flexure descending colon and rectal segment area it arises from left side of the aorta at about level of l3 and distance into the pelvis
Inferior mesenteric artery
arise from right and left side of aorta between l1 and l2 and supply blood to the respective kidney
RENAL ARTERIES
Venous blood in veins flows proximally. Injection into a central
venous structure may not opacify the peripheral veins that
anastomose to it. However, the position of peripheral veins can
be indirectly documented by the filling defect from unopacified
blood in the opacified central vein.
Central Venography
Venography of the superior vena cava is performed primarily to
rule out the existence of thrombus or the occlusion of the
supetior vena cava. The contrast medium may be injected
through a needle or an angiographic catheter introduced into a
vein in an antecubital fossa, although superior opacification
results from injection through a catheter positioned in the
axillary or subclavian vein.
