The most accurate method for evaluating and defining coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary angiography is used to identify the exact location and severity of CAD. During coronary angiography, a small catheter is inserted through the skin into an artery in the groin or the arm.

Next, a small amount of radiographic contrast is injected into each coronary artery.
