angiograms
Artery visualization scans
Angiograms are X-ray images of blood vessels, produced by injecting a contrast dye that makes arteries and veins visible.
Doctors use them to detect blockages, aneurysms, or other vascular abnormalities: The angiogram revealed a narrowed coronary artery.
The procedure itself is called angiography.
