A member asked:
Are angiogram and angiography the same thing?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Technically no. An angiogram is the image taken when the artery is injected with dye and imaged under x-rays. Angiography is the procedure used to obtain an angiogram. They are often used interchangeably in the vernacular.

Sort of: An angiogram is the result of angiography. It is the end product of the process.

I'm in pain in my forearms a week after my angiogram. they tried for 20 mins to use my right arm, then had to go left. My arteries weren't easy to access. My left arm is now the worst. They're bruised, but the worst thing is the pain from the entry site.
