...some cases, the next thing to do is inject radiopaque dye into the patient's arm or neck arteries and take an arteriogram, a rapid-fire series of X rays. (Two per second is the standard speed; six per second is now possible, and 60 per second may be soon.) These may show precisely where the clot has done its damage; they can give general guidance to the doctors and therapists who will have to work with the patient later...

He worked plastic tubes through arm veins into both sides of her heart, injected a radiopaque dye and took X rays to get a clear picture of her narrowed aorta.

During the four-month course, the students will learn how to use dozens of complex espionage devices.

To guard against clots, he flushed out the whole artery-vein system with a special saline solution combined with antibiotics, an anticoagulant and a radiopaque dye. X rays promptly showed that the arterial tree was open all the way to the fingertips. Relieved, Dr. Herrmann picked up the arm, carried it carefully to the operating table on which Ev Knowles had just been wheeled in, all draped except for his torn and bloody shoulder...
