Definitions:

Arthrography

A radiologic procedure performed by a radiologist, who uses a contrast medium and fluoroscopy to help diagnose abnormalities or injuries in the cartilage, tendons, or ligaments of the joints—usually the knee or shoulder.

Contrast Medium

A substance that makes internal organs denser and blocks the passage of X-rays to photographic film. Introducing a contrast medium into certain structures or areas of the body can provide a clear image of organs and tissues and highlight indications of how well they are functioning.

Fluoroscopy

An imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object or body, often used in diagnostic and treatment procedures.

Gastrointestinal Angiography

A medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract for the diagnosis or treatment of conditions causing gastrointestinal bleeding or blockages.
