Contrast-enhanced projection radiography: Sinugraphy

Blood vessels in your brain have been X-rayed. This involved using a contrast agent.

The blood from the brain flows back to the heart via large blood vessels. These blood vessels are around the outside of the brain.

A contrast agent is a fluid. The contrast agent is intended to help to differentiate the tissues more clearly from one another in the X‑ray examination.
