| radiationi oncologist | deals with the use of radiatioin i nthe treatment of cancer |
| invasive imaging | requires the introduction of contrast media into various systems of the body. |
| contrast media | substances that allow internal images to be reviewed. |
| aniogram | an image of arteries and veins filled with contrast media |
| ateriogram | an image of arteries only of contrast media |
| fluroscopy | imagaing process used to guide the catheter through the artery, into the heart, and then into the coronary artery. It projects the x-ray image onto fluorescent screens |
