A carotid arteriogram is an x-ray study designed to determine if
there is narrowing or other abnormality in the carotid artery, a
main artery to the brain. This is an angiogram of the left common
carotid artery (both front-to-back and side views) showing a severe
narrowing (stenosis) of the internal carotid artery just beyond the
division of the common carotid artery into the internal and
external branches.
