When one starts to exhibit the signs and symptoms of neurological concerns, it can thoroughly prove to be difficult to diagnose at times. Your neurologist might find themselves puzzled by your symptoms. One might be requested to undergo an angiogram procedure. With these tests, your neurologist can accurately diagnose you and offer you the right treatment procedures in a timely manner. At Jhawar Neuro Hospital, you can make certain to understand not only your neurological trouble but also undergo various diagnostic tests to ensure that you are able to understand the root cause of your neurological concerns. 

What is an Angiogram?

An angiography is a procedure performed to identify anomalies in one’s nervous system. A catheter is inserted inside one’s body through a small incision made on the leg or arm. From here, the catheter is inserted into an artery. This arrangement then travels to the area being investigated, and the iodine liquid is sent through the tube. Using X-ray technology, the images are captured, and the ionised solution ensures that the blood vessels are captured effectively. This procedure ensures that your neurologist can identify any place that is worthy of concern and diagnose you accordingly.

Illnesses You Can Diagnose with an Angiography Procedure

There are several disorders that can be diagnosed using an angiography procedure, some of them are as follows: 

• Your neurologist can easily identify an aneurysm.
• If you are suffering from atherosclerosis, a narrowing in arteries, it can be thoroughly diagnosed using an angiogram procedure. 
• Your neurologist can also identify when you are suffering from arteriovenous malformation when a tangled web of blood vessels is dilated. This disturbs the normal flow of blood through the blood vessels in the brain. 
• One can also be diagnosed with vasculitis through an angiogram. 
• If one has a brain tumour or a brain clot, it can be thoroughly diagnosed and identified. 
• If there is a tear in the wall of any of your arteries, it can also be diagnosed using an angiogram.

Ways You Can Prepare Yourself for an Angiography Procedure 

If you have never undergone an angiography procedure, it can sound really intimidating. One needs to make certain that you are able to prepare for the procedure in a thorough manner. This will make sure that there are no complications whatsoever during the procedure. Following are some of the things you can keep in mind: 

• One should not eat any solid foods for at least six hours prior to the test. You can consume clear liquids up to 2 hours before the test.
• Most people can thoroughly take their medication in the lead-up to the test. However, if you are diabetic, you should consult your physician about how you should alter or change your prescription. 
• If you are allergic to the iodised die, you need to make certain that you are able to inform both the doctor and your radiologist of this information in a thorough and effective manner. 
• One should not smoke at least 24 hours prior to the test either.
