Visceral angiography is a targeted radiological examination of the blood supply to a specific organ, aimed at identifying pathological processes in that organ.
The study at the "Top Ichilov" Medical Center is conducted for patients from both the local country and international patients suffering from diseases of the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, and intestines.
Depending on the organ being examined, the following are distinguished:
- angiography of the liver and spleen;
- renography of the kidney vessels;
- mesenteric angiography of the intestinal vessels
Examination of the blood vessels of the liver and spleen is usually performed to diagnose impaired venous outflow from the organs (blockage). This symptom may indicate the presence of liver pathology (cirrhosis).
Renography of the kidney vessels is the most informative examination when it is necessary to assess the functionality of the renal vessels. The study determines tubular function of the kidneys, narrowing of vessel segments, abnormal vessel dilations, etc. Depending on the indications, the study may be conducted multiple times. Contraindications for the procedure include certain kidney diseases where the use of contrast agents is detrimental to renal tissues.
Mesenteric angiography is an examination of the blood vessel system of the intestines. It is conducted to determine pathological processes, to identify embolism and chronic ischemia (mesenteric).
The methodology for conducting visceral angiography is the same as for other angiography methods: a contrast agent is injected into the vessel, a series of radiological images are taken, and the results are evaluated.
Visceral angiography is indicated in cases of suspected tumors of the organs; the examination shows the localization of the neoplasm (tumors are always supplied with blood abundantly).
