Arteriograph
Definition
A high-precision medical device used in radiology and cardiology to graphically record arterial pulsations or to visualize and photograph the lumen of arteries using X-rays, following the injection of a contrast medium. Additionally, in modern medicine, the term can also refer to non-invasive devices that measure arterial stiffness and pulse wave velocity to assess a patient's global cardiovascular risk.
