Cardiac arteriogram
From DrKoop's partner site on heart disease, MyHeartCentral.com
An arteriorgram is the injection of contrast material or dye into one or more arteries to make them visible on an x-ray. The blood flow through the area can be evaluated with fluoroscopy (i.e., continuous X-rays that allow one to see the contrast material in movement).
