angiograph
Blood vessel scan
An angiograph is an X-ray image of blood vessels, produced by injecting a contrast dye that makes arteries and veins visible.
The technique helps diagnose blockages, aneurysms, and other vascular conditions: The angiograph revealed a narrowing in the coronary artery.
Also called an angiogram.
