    Abstract: A diagnostic catheter having both a guidewire lumen and at least one contrast lumen is disclosed. In one embodiment, the contrast lumens allow the user to deliver contrast to a target area within the patient without removing the guidewire. Preferably, a plurality of contrast exit ports are included along the length of the catheter body to evenly and consistently distribute contrast into the blood stream, thereby providing improved visualization during radioscopy.
