@justlucky Yes, a CT angiogram or a catheter application angiogram where they make a small incision in the wrist and slide the catheter up your arm's radial artery. The CT angiogram is most often non-invasive, so no catheter....that I'm aware of. Both methods require substantial fluoroscopy to get photons through your thorax tissues.
