The dye contrasts with body tissue in the images and allows the cardiologist to determine if major blockages are evident in any of the vessels.

No remaining cyanide was found in samples of Urooj Khan's body tissue, likely because cyanide breaks down over time, and there was nothing notable from tests on his stomach contents, Stephen Cina told reporters.
Inflammation is often used by the body to repair tissue (which is why when you sprain a muscle, the area becomes inflamed).
Once her body starts burning protein for energy, he says, she will be in a race to hit Key West before her body destroys muscle tissue.
It also kept 126 samples registered as category two, which are defined as "samples of human tissue which are not a significant part of the body - for example small tissue samples, blocks, slides, etc".
The Acpo audit was sparked following a series of inspections by the Human Tissue Authority in 2009, asking for details of category three human tissue - significant body parts including organs and limbs - held by police before the Human Tissue Act came into force in 2006.
The body produces less healthy estrogen, and more estrone -- a type of estrogen that comes from your body's fat tissue.
Worse, once absorbed, the chemical is locked into the body's fat tissue (it is only excreted through the placenta and in breast milk).
"If they stood on one leg consistently, they would risk greater loss of body heat and potential tissue damage in the cold, " says Anderson.
The technique can provide excellent, detailed images of the body's soft tissue and is an alternative to using X-ray techniques such as computed tomography (CT).
Adiponectin, meanwhile, encourages the body's adipose tissue to absorb lipids.
"This is a stem cell that is generated by the body's own tissue so the immune system does not recognise it and they can get any place they want without being attacked, " said Prof Rambukkana.
As the source of every cell, tissue and organ in the body, their medical application has the potential to repair damaged tissue, regrow internal organs and cure currently incurable diseases like cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
In the U.S., some universities and corporate laboratories are conducting research on "bioprinting, " or artificial construction of body parts using living human tissue.
Embryonic stem cells, which originate from early stage embryos, are blank slates with the potential to become any type of tissue in the body.
BBC: Edinburgh scientists use 3D printing to produce stem cells
Many scientists believe there is a set limit to lifespan because the body's organs and tissue begin to wear out at a steady rate over time.
Dalton is a leader in uncovering exactly what it is about embryonic stem cells that allows them to turn into any kind of tissue in the body.
Police in New York are investigating claims that the managers of a company called Biomedical Tissue Services took body parts without the consent of next of kin.
It is hoped that work of this kind will eventually enable scientists to turn mature cells back into stem cells which have the ability to become any type tissue in the body.
He paints a nightmare picture of scientists owning people's genes (based on a California Supreme Court decision that declared a patient's tissue ceased to be his once it left his body and that doctors could profitably conduct research on that tissue).
Vitamin D receptors are present in nearly every tissue in the human body.
Researchers highly value embryonic stem cells because of their potential to turn into any organ or tissue cell in the body.
Currently, cancer patients are not candidates for face transplants because transplant recipients must take immunosuppression drugs for life so that the body does not reject the donated tissue, Siemionow said.
That is, the cell could be "coached" into becoming any type of tissue or cell in the body.
There is real hope that stem cells will soon be available to regenerate tissue for any part of the body.
Embryos are awash with molecular signals which tell their few cells to divide and differentiate to become the many tissue types that make up the body.
Employing it in adult mice not only led to blood vessels that have lasted so far for over a year, but the blood vessels themselves are now surrounded with muscle tissue meaning that the body is able to use those vessels to properly regulate blood flow.
In extreme cases, statins can destroy muscle tissue in a way that poisons the body, resulting in death.
