Abstract

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) has been a fluoroscopic golden investigative tool to know the vascular angiography of the brain and spinal cord. The technique in performing this procedure exposes residents in accessing the major vessels, branches of the arch of aorta, selective angiography and diagnosing different vascular anomalies of brain and spine. They are also exposed to the knowledge of different diagnostic catheters, its manipulation, use of dye and radiation exposure and safety. We would like to share our experience in training and disseminating the knowledge of digital subtraction angiography to the residents.
