Ventriculography is an invasive imaging technique that uses contrast media and X-rays to study brain ventricles, mainly used in the past for diagnosing brain disorders.

Arthrography is a special radiological imaging procedure used to examine the inside of a joint. In this procedure, a contrast medium (iodine-based or air) is injected directly into the joint space under sterile conditions. After injection, imaging is performed using X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI to clearly visualize joint structures.

Bronchography is a contrast X-ray procedure used to visualize the bronchial tree. After local anesthesia, a catheter is passed into the bronchi and an iodinated contrast medium is instilled. X-ray images are taken in AP and lateral views. It helps in diagnosing bronchiectasis and bronchial obstructions. The procedure is rarely used now and has been replaced by HRCT chest.
