Etymology
'angiographic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'angeion' meaning 'vessel' and 'graphia' meaning 'writing or recording.'
'angiographic' was formed in English from 'angiography' (itself from Greek roots) plus the suffix '-ic' to form the adjective.
Initially, it referred specifically to the process of recording images of blood vessels, and now it broadly describes anything related to or resulting from angiography.
