Arteriography is used to identify which of the following conditions?

• A. Soft tissue injuries.
• B. Arteriosclerosis, tumors or blockages.
• C. Brain tumors.
• D. Bone density changes.

Answer: (B)

Arteriography visualizes the arterial system by injecting a contrast agent and imaging the vessels. Because it directly images blood vessels and their patency, it’s best for detecting conditions that affect arteries: arteriosclerosis (narrowing of arteries), blockages from occlusions, and tumors that recruit their own blood supply and alter surrounding vessels. This vascular-focused view helps map flow and guide treatment such as revascularization or tumor planning. It isn’t the primary tool for soft tissue injuries (MRI or ultrasound are usually used), brain tumors (MRI or CT is standard for brain lesions), or bone density changes (DEXA or standard radiographs are used).
