So, early one morning in June, I went for the test. While I
lay on the gantry outside the C-shaped
scanner, a tech inserted
an IV in the back of my hand. The scan would have to resolve
millimeter-sized
plaque in a grapefruit-sized
organ moving at a
velocity of 200 millimeters per second. I was given an intravenous
beta-blocker
to slow down my heart to reduce image blur.
A nitroglycerin tablet was also placed under
my tongue to dilate
my chest arteries so the scan could visualize them better. After
a couple
of preliminary images, a nurse injected X-ray-
opaque

dye into my vein. “You’re
going
to feel warm all over,” she said
as I blushed, thinking I’d wet myself. The final run-through
took less than a minute.
After
Dr. Trost reviewed the images, she called me into the
reading room. The gray-and-
white
pictures were
up on a large
monitor. White specks, radiographic grit, were
in all three of my
coronary vessels. The main artery feeding my heart had a 30 to
50 percent
obstruction near the opening and a 50 percent
blockage
in the mid-portion.
There
was minor plaque in the other
two arteries, too. Sitting numbly in that dark room, I felt as if
I were
getting a glimpse of how I was probably going
to die.

Oppure "su un grande schermo (luminoso)"
Sono le lastre della TAC che, come tutte le lastre, anche quelle radiografiche comuni, sono di colore bianco e grigio e vengono poste sullo schermo luminoso per facilitarne la visualizzazione.

: Diafanoscopio, non monitor. :) http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/tag/DIAFANOSCOPIO/ --- Lo so, comunque non è un monitor, è uno schermo luminoso, come hai indicato nella tua seconda opzione.

Grazie mille Eleonora. D'accordissimo, ma qui si tratta di un testo narrativo che, spesso, utilizza appositamente termini non tecnici, come conferma appunto la presenza di "monitor", e che anzi arriva a chiamare le lastre "gray-and-white pictures".
