Special X-ray procedure of the arteries in which all other radiopaque structures (especially calciferous bones) are subtracted with the exception of the vessels to be examined. By electronic amplification (D) of the X-ray image, by subtraction (S) of the image stored without contrast agent from the image obtained with contrast agent, the statement of the angiogram (A) is further improved.
