ar-teer-ee-AH-graff-ee A testing procedure in which an X-ray opaque dye is injected into the bloodstream and then pictures are taken and studied to see if the arteries are damaged.

An X-ray procedure to study arteries. The arteries to be studied are injected with a chemical that is opaque to X-rays, so abnormalities can be easily detected on the X-ray film.

A special x-ray technique uses dye that is injected through a catheter inserted in an artery in the leg or arm.

See angiography.

Coronary angiography (or arteriography) is a test used to explore the coronary arteries. A fine tube (catheter) is put into an artery of an arm or leg and passed through the tube into the arteries of the heart. The heart and blood vessels are then filmed while the heart pumps. The picture that is seen, called an angiogram or arteriogram, will show problems such as a blockage caused by heart disease.
