Wiki says: "A catheterization laboratory or cath lab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment used to support the catheterization procedure. A catheter is inserted into a large artery, and various wires and devices can be inserted through the body via the catheter which is inside the artery. The artery most used is the femoral artery.However, the femoral artery is associated with local complication in up to 3% of patients[citation needed] and hence, more interventional physicians are moving towards the radial (wrist) artery, as an alternative site. Disadvantages of the radial artery include small vessel caliber and a different "learning curve" for physicians used to the femoral (groin) access."

Great photo. Not something you want to hang on the wall, but well done. And it's not an old truck, an old car, and old boat, or anything else old, which is a good thing.
