Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a coronary angiogram, an interventional cardiologist injects a contrast dye through the catheter to highlight your heart and blood vessels. An X-ray machine takes multiple images to show how the contrast dye moves through your heart, highlighting any blockages or damaged blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dye is injected into a small tube or catheter into an artery in your groin or (sometimes) your arm. The small tube is inserted after an injection of local anaesthetic around the artery. Sometimes an intravenous sedative is given. After the dye is injected, pictures are taken using an X-ray machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -An x-ray or computer image (CT scan or MRI) of the blood vessels and blood flow in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -An angiogram is an x-ray procedure used to detect blockages in the arterial system, typically around the heart. A cerebral angiogram looks at the blood vessels in your neck or head. A CT angiogram (CTA) uses a computed tomography scan (CT scan) to examine your heart and blood vessels.
