Angiofluoroscopy
Definition
A radiological imaging investigation method that allows the dynamic, real-time visualization on a fluorescent or digital screen of bloodstream flow and vessel structure following the injection of a contrast medium. This clinical structural procedure is widely used in interventional radiology and cardiovascular surgery for guiding catheters, placing stents, and immediately monitoring vascular lumen patency during operations.
