especially with vascular procedures, contrast agents may be used to enhance vessels.
Interventional radiology in conjunction with other modalities such as x-ray, CT, and MRI can provide useful images in mapping out a procedure or assessing different pathologies. In the case of cerebral coiling, often patients will have a CT angiography scan before endovascular coiling.
This allows for assessment for aneurysms and possible occlusions within the vessel. After an occlusion or an aneurysm is identified, recommendations for treatment are made. Depending on the extent or the location is, it may be more beneficial to go with the interventional route of
