  2. Transradial catheterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transradial_catheterization

    In 1948, Radner [4] published one of the first descriptions of transradial central arterial catheterization and attempts at coronary artery imaging using radial artery cut-down. Transradial access to perform diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures was introduced by Campeau [ 5 ] and was later adapted for therapeutic procedures of coronary ...

  3. Intima–media thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intima–media_thickness

    IMT can be measured using external ultrasound in large arteries relatively close to the skin (e.g. the carotid, brachial, radial, or femoral arteries). External ultrasound methods have the advantage of being non-invasive, comparatively low cost and convenient.

  4. Catheterization laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheterization_laboratory

    The consultant cardiologist is responsible for gaining arterial access, inserting a sheath into either the radial or femoral artery, passing a wire and catheter into the coronary artery and selectively injecting contrast media into the coronary arteries. They then interpret the images taken to ascertain where the narrowed or blocked artery has ...

  5. Interventional radiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_radiology

    Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. IR performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions or body orifices.

  6. Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monckeberg's_arteriosclerosis

    A. Pelvic and lower extremity radiograph shows extensive calcification of the femoral arteries. B. Translumbar aortography shows near-total obstruction of the femoral arteries. Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis, or Mönckeberg's sclerosis, is a non-inflammatory form of arteriosclerosis (artery hardening), which differs from atherosclerosis ...

  7. X-ray of hip dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_of_hip_dysplasia

    X-rays of hip dysplasia are one of the two main methods of medical imaging to diagnose hip dysplasia, the other one being medical ultrasonography. [1] [2] Ultrasound imaging yields better results defining the anatomy until the cartilage is ossified. When the infant is around 3 months old a clear roentgenographic image can be achieved.

  8. Angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

    Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers.

  9. Femoral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_artery

    The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle. It enters and passes through the adductor canal , and becomes the popliteal artery as it passes through the adductor hiatus in the adductor magnus near the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the thigh.
