Cerebral Angiography

Advanced Imaging: Understanding Cerebral Angiography at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center

Unraveling Complexities: Cerebral Angiography stands as a cornerstone in advanced medical imaging, especially in the realm of neurology and vascular health. At Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, our expert team utilizes this sophisticated procedure to gain unparalleled insights into the intricate blood vessels within the brain, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological and vascular conditions.

A Closer Look: Cerebral Angiography, also known as intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA), involves the use of contrast dye injected directly into the blood vessels of the brain. This allows for real-time visualization of the blood flow, identifying blockages, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other abnormalities that may impact brain function or pose risks such as stroke.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Our state-of-the-art imaging suite is equipped with the latest digital subtraction angiography technology, ensuring high-resolution images while minimizing radiation exposure. This precision is crucial in capturing detailed views of even the smallest blood vessels within the brain, providing neurosurgeons and interventional radiologists with the information they need for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Focused Care: During the procedure, patients are carefully monitored by our skilled medical team to ensure safety and comfort throughout. Our radiologists and technicians, experienced in performing cerebral angiograms, work collaboratively to obtain comprehensive images that guide neurosurgical interventions, endovascular procedures, or ongoing monitoring of vascular conditions.

Advancing Treatments: The benefits of Cerebral Angiography extend beyond diagnosis, as it plays a vital role in guiding minimally invasive treatments such as embolization for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations, angioplasty for narrowed vessels, and stent placement for vascular stenosis. This targeted approach reduces the need for more invasive surgeries and promotes faster recovery times for patients.

Our Commitment: At Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, we prioritize patient safety, accuracy, and innovation in every aspect of healthcare delivery. Our commitment to excellence in advanced imaging techniques like Cerebral Angiography reflects our dedication to providing exceptional neurovascular care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
