A cerebral angiogram is an X-ray test that uses dye injected through a slim tube to show the blood vessels of the brain in fine detail.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust says it is usually done to look for an aneurysm or an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or to check one that has been treated; CT or MR angiography may come first, but catheter angiography gives the most detail.

Most are done under local anaesthetic, with a catheter passed from the groin or wrist.

The Leeds leaflet reports a stroke risk of about 0.5%, confusion in about 0.5% and a mild dye reaction in about 3%, along with bruising at the puncture site.

Most people go home the same day with an adult staying for 24 hours, and avoid driving for two days.

Fit-to-fly window: most scans and scopes do not delay travel, but avoid travelling on the day of sedation and allow time in Delhi in case further tests follow.

A Delhi estimate for a cerebral angiogram is usually built from these parts:

• Type of scan or scope: and any contrast or tracer.
• Sedation: if needed.
• Specialist report: review of the images.
• Diagnostic or with treatment: the purpose.
• Access site: groin or wrist.
• Day case or overnight: for monitoring.
• Earlier scans: CT or MR angiography.

A diagnostic cerebral angiogram is usually a day case, so a Delhi quote near the upper end of the range above often includes treatment or a longer stay.

Scans and diagnostic scopes in Delhi NCR are offered in hospital departments and independent centres; a hospital setting is simpler if a biopsy or treatment may follow.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.
