Angiography
Angiograms are X-ray pictures of blood vessels. To do an angiogram, the doctor puts a catheter (a very thin, flexible tube) into the blood vessel. He or she then injects a contrast dye into the blood vessel that shows up on X-rays.
The angiogram allows your health care provider to check the inside of a blood vessel to see if it is narrowed, leaking, misshapen, enlarged or blocked. Sometimes X-ray pictures of blood vessels can be done with magnetic resonance imaging (MR) or computerized tomography (CT scan) so that a catheter does not have to be put into the blood vessel.
