Morphology

angiograph = angio + graph

This is a technical medical formation from angio- and -graph, but the meaning 'record or image of vessels' is only weakly predictable outside medical vocabulary.

Etymology

Angiograph comes from the Greek parts angio- meaning 'vessel' and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'record', just like a photograph is a recorded picture. So an angiograph is the X-ray picture or record of blood vessels.
