An advanced imaging technology that provides two simultaneous X-ray views of blood vessels in real time.
This dual-plane capability allows specialists to visualise complex vascular structures from different angles at the same time, improving precision, reducing procedure time, and enhancing patient safety.
Superior Imaging Clarity
High-resolution imaging allows doctors to see fine blood vessel structures clearly, especially in delicate areas like the brain and heart.
Enhanced Precision
Simultaneous front and side views improve hand-eye coordination during procedures, enabling more accurate catheter placement and device deployment.
Reduced Procedure Time
With dual-angle imaging, doctors obtain the necessary views without repeatedly repositioning equipment, leading to faster interventions.
Lower Radiation Exposure
By capturing two views at the same time, the procedure often requires fewer X-rays and takes less time, helping reduce radiation exposure for both patients and medical staff.
Bi-plane angiography is especially valuable in high-risk and technically demanding procedures where time and accuracy are critical. It allows our interventional specialists to perform life-saving treatments with greater confidence and control.
"Bi" means two. The system captures two views (front and side) simultaneously. This helps doctors see blood vessels more clearly without moving the equipment repeatedly.
Most angiography procedures are minimally invasive. Instead of large cuts, doctors insert a thin tube (catheter) through a small puncture, usually in the wrist or groin, to treat the problem from inside the blood vessel.
You will usually receive local anaesthesia (numbing medicine), and sometimes mild sedation to keep you comfortable. Most patients feel minimal discomfort.
Angiography is generally a safe and commonly performed procedure. Most patients experience no major problems, and serious complications are rare. Your healthcare team will assess your medical history and take precautions to minimize risks before and during the procedure.
Some patients may go home the same day. Others, especially those treated for stroke or complex conditions, may require hospital admission for further monitoring and care.
