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.
