ventriculography

[ventrik′yəlog′rəfē]

Etymology: L, ventriculus + graphein, to record

1 the radiographic examination of a ventricle of the heart after injection of a radiopaque contrast medium.

2 the radiographic examination of the head following cerebrospinal fluid removal from the cerebral ventricles and its replacement by a contrast medium, usually air.
