What is a digital Subtraction


angiography?

Dsa is a computerized x-ray technique in which the vascular anatomy;


the vesels are visualized.

It is one of 4 angiography types : conventional angiography, DSA, CT,

DSA is used to detect blood cots, tumors and other

What are Materials of DSA?

Specialized X-ray Machine

Fluoroscopic screen

Contrast media/ Flourescien dye

Catheter

Guide wire

Contrast media: dye injected into the cirlularory system that when
exposed to xrays.It make the the blood vessels and soft tissues are
visualized.

How it is done?

During DSA, the the patien lie on a table and electrodes are placed on
his/her chest to monitor heart health.

An xray image of the area is taken before the dye is injected.

A local anesthetic is injected into the skin at the side where the dye will
be introduced

A thin tube is then insert in to the blood vessels and the dye is injected.

The computer subtracts structure in the first picture from the second
picture, leaving only the blood vessels.
