Arteriograma cardíaco
El arteriograma consiste en la inyección de un material de contraste o yodo en una o más arterias para hacerlas visibles a través de los rayos X. El flujo de sangre que atraviesa el área puede evaluarse con fluoroscopia, en la cual los rayos X continuos permiten ver el material de contraste en movimiento.
