Radiography of vessels or of the heart, with recordings of the images on motion-picture film; therefore, permitting the study of motion.

It is especially useful in the study of coronary arteries and the chambers of the heart.

The diagnostic value of conventional determination of cerebral circulation time from serial angiograms is questioned and compared with the results of angiocinematographic investigation.
