Q

Angiogram

A

Imaging of vasculature – can be achieved with transmission and emission techniques
Provides views on internal space of vessels Arteriogram = arteries
Venogram = veins
Modalities
* X-ray – standard angiogram
* CT angiogram – can be manipulated for 3D image
* MRA – MRI generated image

Describe this

Acoustic shadow→anechoic area deep to a mineralized structure

Describe this

Deep acoustic enhancement→ tissues deep to a fluid filled space appear brighter

Describe this

Dirty shadows→Obstruction of deeper structure due to bowel gas
