    Arteriography

    An X-ray of the carotid artery taken when a special dye is injected into the artery.


    For similar information see Procedures

    Arteriography is a type of medical test. 

    Doctors inject you with a special dye. 

    Then they take an X-ray picture. 

    They can see the dye on the X-ray. 

    This shows if your arteries are blocked.
