Source

Source summary

Explore a cost-effective, noninvasive way to detect blood-vessel blockage without radioactive materials, seeking diagnostic reliability comparable to conventional angiography. The source does not identify a mechanism or establish clinical equivalence. Its background particularly references radionuclide techniques; this should not be read as claiming all angiography uses radioactive contrast.
