The End Of The Traditional Angiogram

An angiogram, for all you younger readers, is where a surgeon snakes the little tube up your leg and into your heart and shoots some dye and then x-rays it to see how blocked your coronary arteries are. It's expensive  --  about $4,000  -- and every now and then a patient will have a bad reaction to the dye and die. But now, this Science Daily article tells how the new CT scanners will be able to do this without the dye and for around $700. It's a Next Big Thing in medicine.
