ventriculography [ven-trik″u-log´rah-fe] 1. radiography of the cerebral ventricles after introduction of air or other contrast medium. This study is no longer used to examine the brain; being replaced by CT and MRI.2. radiography of a ventricle of the heart after injection of a contrast medium.first pass ventriculography first pass radionuclide angiocardiography.gated blood pool ventriculography equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography.radionuclide ventriculography radionuclide angiocardiography.ven·tric·u·log·ra·phy (ven-trik'yū-log'ră-fē), 1. Radiographic demonstration of the cerebral ventricles by direct injection of air or contrast medium; developed and described by Dandy in 1918. Compare: pneumoencephalography. 2. Demonstration of the contractility of the cardiac ventricles by recording serially the distribution of intravenously injected radionuclide or that of radiographic contrast medium injected through an intracardiac catheter.
