Visceral Angiography is a targeted radiological study of the blood supply to a specific organ, aimed at identifying pathological processes in that organ.
The study at the Top Ihilov Medical Center is conducted for patients both from the local country and for international patients suffering from diseases of the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, and intestines.
Depending on the organ being studied, the following are distinguished:
- angiography of the liver and spleen;
- renography of the kidney vessels;
- mesenteric angiography of the intestinal vessels
The study 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 the 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 kidney tissues.
Mesenteric angiography is a study of the blood vessel system of the intestines. It is conducted to determine pathological processes, to identify embolism and chronic ischemia (mesenteric).
The technique for performing 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 tumours of the organs; the study shows the localization of the neoplasm (tumours are always supplied with blood abundantly).
