Community Spirit
We want to give a massive shout out to our wonderful member, Sandra Falla and her colleague Richard for taking on the mammoth task of completely the London to Brighton bike ride on Sunday 10 September 2023. 60 miles on the hottest day of the year is no mean feat. They have raised over £4,500 for CPA Research Foundation and we will be forever grateful for their time, efforts and for supporting the charity! Thank you!
What is an angiogram?
The Brainbook Charity have kindly given us their permission to share this amazing video showing a brain angiogram. Their aim is to improve public and patient understanding of neurological and neurosurgical diseases.
The video is of an actual brain angiogram using a catheter, x-ray imaging guidance and an injection of contrast material to examine blood vessels in the brain for abnormalities such as aneurysms and arterovenous malformations.
Cerebral angiography produces very detailed, clear and accurate pictures of blood vessels in the brain and may eliminate the need for surgery.
