An important step in the diagnosis and treatment of vessel disease is the qualitative
assessment and quantitative measurement of blood flow through the diseased vessels and
surrounding areas. In X-ray angiography, standard x-ray images are acquired of the region of
interest following injection of an opaque contrast agent, which enters the bloodstream and permits
an accurate visual depiction of blood flow through vessels. Using X-ray angiography, blood flow
can be approximately measured by employing kinematics to describe the movement of contrast
dye along a linear portion of the vessel.
