Coronary angiogram
A

catheterization. Cardiac catheterization procedures can both diagnose and treat
heart and blood vessel conditions.
During a coronary angiogram, A special x-ray sensitive dye
(contrast) is injected and dynamic x-rays are taken of the blood vessels as the
contrast moves through them.. The X-ray machine takes a series of images
