The diagnostic examination described involves the injection of a radiopaque contrast medium into the joint space, which is characteristic of arthrography. Arthroscopy is a different diagnostic technique that involves inserting a small camera into the joint and visualizing it directly. Goniometry measures joint range of motion, and thermography is a technique used to measure surface temperatures. Therefore, the only appropriate answer is C, arthrography.
