Angiography and digital subtraction angiography are medical imaging techniques used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular application to the arteries, veins and heart. Angiography involves injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessels and using X-ray-based fluoroscopy to see inside the vessels. Digital subtraction angiography improves upon conventional angiography by digitally subtracting pre-injection background images from post-injection images, enhancing visualization of the vasculature and blood flow.
