Renal Angiography and Vascular Interventional Radiology

A brief introduction is given about the diagnostic role of angiography, which, at present, is significantly limited compared to noninvasive techniques such as color Doppler ultrasound, multidetector CT angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography. Then, a focus will be directed on the technical aspects of diagnostic angiography, discussing materials and imaging parameters, and subsequently the technical aspects of interventional vascular procedures, focusing also on new procedures such as renal denervation. Anatomy is then reviewed as is apparent on angiographic studies.
