DIGITAL SUBTRACTION ANGIOGRAPHY AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY(Advanced Radiation Images and Patient's Dose)

3D cerebral angiography: radiation dose comparison with digital subtraction angiography.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE As the use of 3D rotational angiography (3D RA) for the evaluation of cerebral vasculature becomes more widespread, it is important to evaluate this imaging method's effect on patient radiation dose. The purpose of the study is to measure 3D RA radiation dose as compared with biplanar digital subtraction angiography (DSA). METHODS The distribution and peak skin dose wer...

Radiation dose to patients and personnel during intraoperative digital subtraction angiography.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of intraoperative angiography to assess the results of neurovascular surgery is increasing. The purpose of this study was to measure the radiation dose to patients and personnel during intraoperative angiography and to determine the effect of experience. METHODS Fifty consecutive intraoperative angiographic studies were performed during aneurysmal clipping or ar...

MR Digital Subtraction Angiography

Analysis of Subtraction Methods in 3D Contrast-Enhanced MR Digital Subtraction Angiography Yuexi Huang Master of Science 2001 Department of Medical Biophysics University of Toronto 3D Contrast-enhanced MR angiography is promising as a replacement to catheter-based x-ray angiography due to its non-invasive nature. However, the image quality of MR angiography is still inferior to that of x-ray an...

Motion compensated digital subtraction angiography

Digital subtraction angiography, whether based on traditional X-ray or MR, su ers from patient motion artifacts. Until now, the usual remedy is to pixel shift by hand, or in some cases performing a global pixel shift semi-automatically. This is time consuming, and cannot handle rotations or local varying deformations over the image. We have developed a fully automatic algorithm that provides fo...
