Angiograms

An angiogram is a medical imaging test that uses a special dye (contrast) to highlight blood vessels and help doctors see if there are any blockages or abnormalities. Depending on the area being assessed, there are different types of angiograms:

Coronary angiography is carried out in our Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory by an interventional cardiologist to check for blockages in the heart’s arteries.

Peripheral angiography looks at blood flow in the arteries of the legs and may be used to assess circulation issues.

CT angiography is a non-invasive scan done in our medical imaging department by a radiologist to view blood vessels in different parts of the body, such as the brain, lungs, or abdomen.

These procedures are important tools in diagnosing and planning treatment for various heart and vascular conditions.
