What is DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography)? As per Radiopedia.org, Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopic technique used extensively in interventional radiology for visualization of blood vessels. Radiopaque structures such as bones are digitally eliminated (“subtracted”) from the image, thus allowing for an accurate depiction of the blood vessels. In easy language, it is an X-ray that shows a patient’s blood vessels by removing all other structures from the image. During DSA, a special contrast medium or ‘dye’ is injected into your blood to make the blood vessels easier to see. DSA is required during bleeding vessels, any blood vessel diseases or used to assess the blood vessel systems of cancerous tumours.
