The diagnostic procedure that images the structures of blood vessels and the flow of blood through them is called an angiography. This test uses contrast dye and imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to visualize any blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
The diagnostic procedure you are referring to is called angiography. It involves the use of contrast material and special imaging techniques to visualize blood vessels and blood flow in various parts of the body, such as the heart, brain, or extremities.
Ultrasound. Diagnostic ultrasound is the use of high-frequency sound waves to image anatomic structures and to detect the cause of illness and disease. Ultrasound moves at different speeds through the body's tissue, depending on the density of the tissue.
Ultrasound machines are used to observe structures within the body for diagnostic purposes. They are used for vascular, abdominal, obstetric and gynecological studies. They are ideal for thyroid and scrotal imaging, and provide complimentary breast imaging to mammographies.
A diagnostic medical sonographist, also known as an ultrasound technologist or sonographer, is a healthcare professional who uses specialized equipment to create images of internal body structures through ultrasound technology. They perform diagnostic imaging procedures, typically focusing on areas such as the abdomen, pelvis, and obstetrics, to assist physicians in diagnosing medical conditions. Sonographists are trained in anatomy, patient care, and the operation of ultrasound machines, ensuring high-quality imaging while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.

Cardiac catheterization
Ultrasound imaging, or diagnostic sonography, is offered at all our Insight Medical Imagining locations through Alberta. Using non-invasive sound waves instead of radiation, Ultrasound imagining is used to assess body structures. A sonographer uses an ultrasound transducer to generate sound waves that detect echoes produced in the body. A computer interprets the echo and provided detailed images for the radiologist, who will review the results and send a detailed report to your doctor.
The procedure where a scope is passed through the mouth and into the larynx is called indirect laryngoscopy. This allows the physician to visualize the larynx and surrounding structures without the need for sedation or anesthesia and is commonly used for diagnostic purposes.
The procedure used to collect diagnostic information about the cardiac structures by threading a thin tube into the heart is called cardiac catheterization. During this procedure, a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel, usually in the arm or leg, and guided to the heart. It allows for the measurement of pressures within the heart chambers, assessment of blood flow, and can also facilitate the collection of tissue samples or the performance of interventions like angioplasty. Cardiac catheterization is commonly used to diagnose and evaluate various heart conditions.
Cystoscopy is the diagnostic procedure that allows for the visualization of the urinary bladder. It involves inserting a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) through the urethra to examine the bladder wall for abnormalities or conditions like inflammation, tumors, or stones.
using ultrasound scientists and doctors can see through the skin this is called ultrasoundography and is a based diagnostic medical imaging technique used to see muscles,tendons, and many internal organs, to obtain their size,and structure
