Digital Subtraction Angiography with Bandpass Filtration during by-Pass Operation

advantages of digital subtraction angiography during nerve block

conclusions the advantages of dsa in fluoroscopy-guided transforaminal epidural block and nerve block are identification of the degree of appropriate contrast flow (epidural and nerve root sleeve) and the intravascular administration without overlapping radiodense structures. introduction most pain physicians know that fluoroscopy might improve the safety, accuracy, and efficacy of nerve block;...

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...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with Negative Baseline Digital Subtraction Angiography: Is Repeat Digital Subtraction Angiography Necessary?

INTRODUCTION Patients with negative initial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are at significant risk for re-bleeding, which can lead to severe disability and death. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of repeat DSA in subgroups of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with negative initial DSA. METHODS A total of 904 spontaneous SAH patients were admitted to our...

Intravenous digital subtraction angiography with iohexol.

Iohexol is a nonionic water-soluble iodinated contrast medium with chemical and physical properties similar to those of metrizamide. A randomized double-blind study was performed in 40 patients undergoing intravenous digital subtraction angiography for suspected carotid and vertebral disease to compare the radiographic imaging quality and side effects of iohexol with those of Renografin-76 (dia...
