Arteriography

   

Arteriography (also known as Angiogram or Angiography) is an examination method where a dye solution visible to X-ray is injected into a patient’s bloodstream. Later, X-rays of the patient are taken and are studied. Arteriography is used to detect damage or blocked arteries, and to measure blood flow and blood pressure in the heart.
