Application of digital subtraction angiography in canine hindlimb arteriography

Digital subtraction arteriography for spinal arteriovenous malformation.

Selective spinal cord angiography is the estab lished method for evaluating patients with vascular lesions of the cord. This technique is technically demanding , and the examination takes considerab le amounts of time and rad iation [1]. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with venous injections produces arterial images with dec reased patient risk . This procedure is also valuable in conjunc...

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...

Application of ICA to X-ray coronary digital subtraction angiography

In this paper, an effective method is developed to extract coronary vessels from X-ray digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Unlike the traditional image subtraction technique, we used the independent component analysis (ICA) to separate the coronary vessels and backgrounds. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than the traditional & 2011 Elsevi...

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...
