Coronary angiography is performed via an artery from the groin or the wrist or forearm. A small catheter is inserted, through which a contrast agent is injected into the vessels of the heart. Simultaneously, the heart is x-rayed, creating images of the vessels.

After the examination, you can get a CD with the images in a format than can be played on the media player of an ordinary computer.
