Combining Optimized Image Processing With Dual Axis Rotational Angiography: Toward Low‐Dose Invasive Coronary Angiography

Safety and efficacy of dual-axis rotational coronary angiography vs. standard coronary angiography.

OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of dual-axis rotational coronary angiography (DARCA) by directly comparing it to standard coronary angiography (SA). BACKGROUND Standard coronary angiography (SA) requires numerous fixed static images of the coronary tree and has multiple well-documented limitations. Dual-axis rotational coronary angiography (DARCA) is a new rotational acquisitio...

A comparison between dual axis rotational coronary angiography and conventional coronary angiography.

BACKGROUND Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the investigation of coronary artery disease, and is carried out in multiple, predefined stationary views, at different angulations around the patient, for both left and right coronary arteries. Dual axis rotational coronary angiography (DARA) is an alternative technique wherein the c-arm rotates around the patient in a preprogrammed...

A novel dual-axis rotational coronary angiography evaluation of coronary artery disease--case presentation and review.

and key words on FTP. Despite tremendous advances in the invasive and noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD), standard coronary angiography (SA) remains the gold standard diagnostic modality to assess the severity of coronary stenoses.There are significant limitations inherent to fixed-view angiography related to its 2-dimensional (2D) nature and limited number of standard proj...

Can coronary computed tomography angiography replace invasive angiography? Coronary computed tomography angiography cannot replace invasive angiography.

O ne million patients undergo invasive coronary angiogra-phy (CA) in the United States every year. 1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD)....
