angiographic = angiography (semi-transparent) = angio + graph + ic
The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'angiography' with the suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
Angiographic comes from Greek angio- meaning 'vessel' and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'record', the same graph you see in photograph. So an angiographic image is a 'record of vessels', a picture that shows the blood vessels in the body.
