Bollywood actor Salman Khan's father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, suffered a brain hemorrhage. However, doctors diagnosed him with a DSA procedure rather than open brain surgery. The screenwriter is currently undergoing treatment at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.

According to hospital and family sources, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan suffered a brain hemorrhage. As a result, his physical complications have increased. He is currently on ventilation support. Doctors are closely monitoring the situation.

As his physical condition deteriorated, doctors have performed a special medical procedure called DSA on him. In this regard, Salim Khan's doctor Jalil Parker said that this test was performed after a slight hemorrhage was detected in the brain of this elderly personality. This is not a surgery, but a type of diagnosis.

Now the question is what is the DSA procedure?

The full name of DSA is Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). It is a highly advanced and accurate imaging technology, which is mainly used to identify complex problems of blood vessels.

When asked why this was done on Salman Khan's father? - When asked, the doctor said that this test was necessary because Salim Khan had high blood pressure and mild bleeding in the brain. This DSA is done to find out whether the blood circulation in his brain is fine or whether there is a possibility of any new danger.

Let's find out how the DSA method works -

1. Image of the vessel: This is a type of high-quality X-ray. In this, a special 'Dye' (Contrast Dye) is inserted into the vessel.

2. Computerized method: With the help of a computer, bones or other tissues are digitally removed from the image, so that only the blood vessels can be seen very clearly.

3. Identification: This method accurately detects whether there is any blockage in the blood vessel, whether the blood vessel has become narrowed, or whether there is any perforation or bleeding.

It is worth noting that Salim Khan is an important name in the history of Hindi cinema. Especially his 'Salim-Javed' pair with Javed Akhtar once started a new trend in Bollywood. From their pen came timeless films like Zanjeer, Deewar and Don. In addition, he has single-handedly written the screenplays of films like Naam, Kabja and Jurm and won praise.
