What is Cerebral angiography?

An angiography is an x-ray of the arteries. The arteries are not normally seen in an x-ray, so a special material, called contrast dye, is injected into one or more arteries to make them visible. For a cerebral angiography, the contrast dye is injected into one or both of the carotid arteries in the neck.

Alternative Names:

Vertebral angiogram; Angiography - head; Carotid angiogram
