Intraveous left ventriculography utilizing digital subtraction technique.

Quantitative assessment of global and regional left ventricular function with low-contrast dose digital subtraction ventriculography.

Few studies have compared the use of low-contrast dose digital subtraction ventriculography with conventional ventriculography for quantitative assessment of both global and regional left ventricular function. Accordingly, 34 patients underwent conventional ventriculography using 36 ml of ionic contrast material and digital ventriculography (mask-mode) using 10 ml of contrast diluted in 10 ml o...

Assessment of left ventricular performance during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: a study by intravenous digital subtraction ventriculography.

Left ventricular performance during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was assessed in 52 patients by intravenous digital subtraction ventriculography. After injection of contrast into the right atrium ventriculograms were obtained before and during balloon inflation. In 37 patients they were also obtained after the procedure. A 12 lead electrocardiogram was monitored throughout. Du...

Investigation of left ventricular function by digital subtraction angiography.

Twenty five patients who had undergone conventional coronary arteriography and left ventriculography for suspected coronary artery disease had left ventriculography performed by digital subtraction angiography as outpatients; there were no complications requiring admission to hospital. A catheter was introduced percutaneously and positioned in the superior vena cava; 40-50 ml of contrast medium...

Digital subtraction technique for evaluation of peri-implant bone change in digital dental imaging.

The purpose of this study was to investigate digital subtraction technique in digital dental imaging for implant performance, used to quantitatively evaluate bone change around dental implants. For longitudinal assessment of peri-implant bone change, we applied subtraction technique to digital peri-apical radiographs using a digital dental imaging system in two cases at the upper canine and pre...
