The medical specialty that studies the characteristics and uses of radioactive substances in the diagnosis of disease is called _______________________. nuclear medicine
A substance that is _________________ permits the passage of most of the x-rays. radiolucent
________________ substances are those that absorb most of the x-rays they are exposed to allowing only a small fraction of the x-rays to reach the x-ray plate. radiopaque
An _________________ is the x-ray image of blood vessels and heart chambers obtained after contrast is injected through a catheter into the appropriate blood vessel of heart chamber. angiography
