Intravenous Coronary Angiography with Synchrotron Radiation

  • Chapter
Book cover Diagnostics of Vascular Diseases

Abstract

In modern units for coronary angiography, the contrast in the images can be enhanced using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in temporal subtraction mode (Fig. 1). In this image-processing mode, a number of electrocardiography (ECG-) triggered images are acquired before application of the contrast agent. The mean of these images (i.e., the mask) is subtracted from the images acquired after application of the contrast agent, thus enhancing the vascular structures containing iodine. The resulting images are of high quality, permitting definite luminographic evaluation of the coronary arteries. The images visualize coronary arteries including their bifurcations down to a diameter below 1 mm.
