Radiology - Angiography

Last updated: Monday 16 September 2024

General introduction

Angiography is a test that uses an injection of contrast (X-ray 'dye') to visualise the coronary arteries of the heart using X-rays. The test shows if the arteries have narrowed and helps decide what management of the condition that the patient requires.

How to access this service

Referral for cardiac angiography is made by a consultant cardiologist.
