Description
Angiography is a diagnostic imaging test to visualize blood vessels and detect blockages or abnormalities; patients in China may need it for chest pain, stroke evaluation, or suspected vascular disease, with costs typically ranging from ¥30–70 (US$200–500), and ChinaMedicalHub assists with hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of angiography is to diagnose and evaluate conditions related to blood vessels such as blockages (atherosclerosis), aneurysms, or vascular malformations. It is also used for planning treatments like angioplasty, stenting, or surgery. Applicable scenarios include diagnosing coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and cerebrovascular diseases.
Normal Range
Angiography does not have a specific numerical normal range as it is an imaging test. The results are interpreted based on the visualization of blood vessels, which should appear smooth and unobstructed without any narrowing, blockages, or abnormal formations.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Angiography does not produce values that can be low; however, if there's poor visualization, it could be due to technical issues, patient movement, or insufficient contrast medium.
High Values - Possible Causes
Angiography does not produce values that can be high; however, over-visualization or artifacts may occur due to excessive contrast medium, improper injection technique, or equipment malfunction.
