| The invasive diagnostic procedure that involves the injection of contrast media into the cerebral arteries to visualize the brain’s vascular anatomy. | Cerebral arteriography (also called cerebral angiography) |
| It provides detailed images of intracranial arteries, aiding in the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular disorders. | Cerebral arteriography (also called cerebral angiography) |
| The type of contrast media selectively injected into cerebral arteries during cerebral arteriography | Iodinated contrast |
| The imaging technique used in real-time to guide catheter navigation during cerebral arteriography. | Fluoroscopic X-ray imaging |
| The Portuguese neurologist who performed the first successful human cerebral angiogram in 1927. | Egas Moniz |
| The prestigious award Egas Moniz received in 1949 for his work in cerebral angiography. | Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine |
| Non-invasive imaging modalities that have largely replaced cerebral arteriography in routine practice. | CT angiography (CTA) and MR angiography (MRA) |
