arteriography
Blood channel mapping
Arteriography is a medical imaging technique that visualizes arteries by injecting contrast dye and taking X-rays.
The procedure reveals blockages, aneurysms, and other vascular abnormalities: The arteriography showed significant narrowing in the coronary arteries.
Also called angiography when referring specifically to arteries.
