CXR Chest radiography, commonly called chest x-ray, is one of the most frequently performed radiological diagnostic studies. This study yields information about the pulmonary, cardiac, and skeletal systems. The lungs, filled with air, are easily penetrated by x-rays and appear black on chest images.

Overview A heart scan, also known as a coronary calcium scan, is a specialized X-ray test that provides pictures of your heart that can enable your doctor to detect and measure calcium-containing plaque in the arteries. Plaque inside the arteries of your heart can eventually grow and restrict or block the flow of blood to the muscles of the heart.

Angiogram of the Lung An angiogram is an X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera (fluoroscopy) to take pictures of the blood flow in an artery (such as the aorta) or a vein (such as the vena cava). Your doctor may tell you some results right after the test.

Arteriogram An arteriogram is a procedure that produces an image of your arteries. Your doctor will use dye (called “contrast material”) and X-rays to observe the flow of blood through your arteries and observe any blockage.This procedure, also known as an angiogram, can be done on many different parts of the body.he terms “arteriogram” and “angiogram” (and the related “arteriography” and “angiography”) are not specific to a particular part of the body. They simply refer to a particular method of observing your arteries.

- Quick GuideHeart Disease: Symptoms, Signs, and Causes. An angiogram is an X-ray image of blood vessels after they are filled with a contrast material. An angiogram of the heart, a coronary angiogram, is the gold standard for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). A coronary angiogram can be used to identify the exact location and severity of CAD.

X-ray Tube X-ray Tube. X-rays for medical diagnostic procedures or for research purposes are produced in a standard way: by accelerating electrons with a high voltage and allowing them to collide with a metal target. X-rays are produced when the electrons are suddenly decelerated upon collision with the metal target; these x-rays are commonly called brehmsstrahlung or braking radiation. If the bombarding electrons have sufficient energy, they can knock an electron out of an inner shell of the target metal atoms.

Carotid Artery Screening In carotid artery screening, individuals who have no signs or symptoms of carotid artery disease undergo ultrasound (US) imaging of the carotid arteries, such as: 1  carotid duplex ultrasound.2  carotid intima media thickness (IMT) ultrasound.his buildup of plaque and the injury it causes is called atherosclerosis. Over time, the walls of affected arteries thicken and become stiff and the blood vessel may also become narrowed (a condition called stenosis), limiting blood flow. Left untreated, carotid artery disease increases the risk for stroke.

Cardiac CT for Calcium Scoring Cardiac CT for Calcium Scoring. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) for Calcium Scoring uses special x-ray equipment to produce pictures of the coronary arteries to determine if they are blocked or narrowed by the buildup of plaque – an indicator for atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease (CAD).

Angiography For all structures except the heart, the images are usually taken using a technique called digital subtraction angiography or DSA. Images in this case are usually taken at 2 – 3 frames per second, which allows the interventional radiologist to evaluate the flow of the blood through a vessel or vessels.

Arterial Calcification a Risk Factor for Stroke, Dementia The authors used computed X-ray tomography (CT) scans to measure calcification in the coronary arteries, aortic arch, and extracranial and intracranial carotid arteries. They also used brain MRI scans to assess cerebral infarcts, microbleeds, and WMLs, which are considered important markers of vascular brain disease.

Extremity Arteriography Arterio refers to arteries, and graphy refers to the process of recording something. During an arteriography, your doctor injects dye into your arteries. They then take X-ray images. The dye shows up in the images, allowing your doctor to see any blockage or narrowing in your arteries. In extremity arteriography, your doctor examines the arteries in your extremities. These are your hands, feet, arms, or legs. In some cases, you might hear a more specific term, such as lower-extremity arteriography (LEA), which involves your feet or legs. Upper-extremity arteriography involves your hands or arms.

X-Ray / Fluoro: Radiography and Fluoroscopy During a radiographic procedure, an x-ray beam is passed through the body. A portion of the x-rays are absorbed or scattered by the internal structure and the remaining x-ray pattern is transmitted to a detector so that an image may be recorded for later evaluation.

- Pulse Volume Recording. Pulse volume recording, also known as plethysmography, is a noninvasive test that measures blood flow within the blood vessels, or arteries. Its purpose is to help locate blockages in the arteries. Physicians usually perform pulse volume recording on the legs to help diagnose leg artery disease.

Angiogram of the Head and Neck Guide. An angiogram of the head and neck is an X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera (fluoroscopy) to take pictures of the blood flow in the blood vessels of the head and neck. An angiogram of the neck (carotid angiogram) can be used to look at the large arteries in the neck that lead to the brain.

X-ray (Radiography) - Chest An x-ray (radiograph) is a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiography involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Cerebral Angiography Angiography is a minimally invasive medical test that uses x-rays and an iodine-containing contrast material to produce pictures of blood vessels in the brain.n cerebral angiography, a thin plastic tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery in the leg or arm through a small incision in the skin. Using x-ray guidance, the catheter is navigated to the area being examined.
