MECHANICAL ARTIFACT FOR DIGITAL SUBTRACTION ANGIOGRAPHY (DSA)(I. Clinical Use of Digital Subtraction Angiography)

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...

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...

Low-cost digital subtraction angiography.

Intravenous angiography was an important diagnostic tool earlier in th is century [1] , however, the technique had many drawbacks . Film timing was critical, the volume of contrast material was high , and the contrast resolution was often poor. When safer techniques for direct arteriography were developed, intravenous angiography was abandoned . Computed digital image processing has brought a r...
