Angiography is a medical imaging technique that visualizes the lumen of blood vessels and the chambers of the heart, classically by injecting a radiopaque contrast agent and acquiring X-ray images, and now also performed with computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and Doppler ultrasound. It is fundamental to cardiology and vascular medicine for delineating arterial and venous anatomy and for detecting stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, dissection, malformation, and other abnormalities of blood flow. Coronary angiography remains the reference standard for assessing the location and severity of coronary artery disease, distinguishing single- from multivessel involvement in acute coronary syndromes, characterizing coronary anatomical variation, and guiding percutaneous coronary intervention, including in complex bifurcation and multivessel lesions. Beyond the coronary circulation, angiographic methods support evaluation of the cerebral and spinal vasculature, including computed tomography angiography in acute ischaemic stroke and the imaging and endovascular treatment of arteriovenous fistulae, as well as prenatal Doppler angiographic assessment of fetal vascular anatomy. These applications connect angiography to diagnosis, risk stratification, and image-guided intervention across cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. This topic compiles peer-reviewed research relevant to angiographic imaging of the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral circulations, its diagnostic role in vascular and ischaemic disease, and its integration with catheter-based and endovascular treatment.
