  • MetalLizard, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1The only other way to get good pictures of the coronary arteries is to thread a catheter through the groin, that is invasive, and can arise complications, and even then that doesn't give the details this imaging technique does. This is great news for you diggers that will live past 40 and develop heart disease.
