Abstract:
The vascular system can be evaluated with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), angiography, and computer-based CT image processing systems before successful transluminally placed endovascular grafting (TPEG). Noninvasive modalities are useful, but angiography is mandatory to determine whether TPEG is indicated. During the procedure, fluorography with a wide-image intensifier and high-resolution digital subtraction angiography are known to be essential, but intravascular ultrasonography is also indispensable to achieve accurate TPEG.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
