Diagnostic Cerebral and Spinal Angiograms (DSA)

Precise Brain Vessel Imaging

Diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography is an advanced imaging procedure used to visualize blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord in real time. It helps detect aneurysms, vascular malformations, blockages, and abnormal vessel anatomy with high accuracy.

A catheter is guided into blood vessels and contrast dye is injected to obtain detailed images. This allows precise diagnosis and safe planning of neurointerventional treatments.

Symptoms Indicating Need for DSA

DSA is recommended when patients present with unexplained neurological symptoms or abnormal findings on other scans. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent complications. Accurate angiographic evaluation helps identify vascular causes, guides treatment decisions, and reduces risks during interventional procedures by providing detailed vessel mapping and real-time assessment.

Benefits of Diagnostic Angiography

DSA provides highly detailed visualization of brain and spinal vessels, enabling accurate diagnosis and safe treatment planning. It detects abnormalities missed by routine scans, guides precise interventions, reduces procedural risks, and improves treatment outcomes. As a minimally invasive test, it offers rapid recovery, reliable results, and essential information for complex neurovascular care.
