D) Digital subtraction angiography
E) Angiography

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doppler echocardiography allows for the assessment of blood flow velocity in different areas of the heart by using sound waves to measure the velocity of red blood cells. Phonocardiography is the recording of heart sounds, echocardiography is the use of ultrasound to view the heart, digital subtraction angiography is a type of X-ray for imaging blood vessels, and angiography is the use of X-rays to visualize blood vessels, but neither of these procedures specifically assess blood flow velocity in the heart.
