contrast medium injected into blood vessels and X ray taken (used to study vessels throughout body)

sample of blood incubated in growth medium to determine type of organism causing infection

insertion of needle into bone to obtain samples of bone marrow for analysis to diagnose disorders involving red and white blood cells by evaluating them as to appearance, numbers, development, and presence of infection

passage of a small catheter into heart via vein to inject dye for X-ray purposes, to record pressure and to discover anomalies of heart
