Neuroradiologic applications of intraarterial digital subtraction angiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the neuroradiologic evaluation of 118 patients using intraarterial digital subtraction angiography definite advantages and disadvantages were defined. Advantages include reduction of contrast medium volume, catheter time, and patient risk and discomfort. It also aids in angiographic planning. The paramount disadvantage is less spatial resolution compared with conventional film angiography.

Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography for definitive diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms.
Comparisons between digital subtraction angiography and conventional angiography have frequently been made in the radiologic literature, and the high quality and several advantages of the former have been reported. In this study, 101 patients with intracranial aneurysms were examined only by intraarterial digital subtraction angiography; no conventional angiography was used. High-quality images...
متن کاملStereoscopic digital subtraction angiography in neuroradiologic assessment.
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with stereoscopic imaging was performed in 40 patients for evaluation of a variety of cerebrospinal disorders. It was facilitated by a C-arm mounted x-ray tube and imaging chain with 7 degrees angulation between image pairs. Stereoscopic digital imaging proved particularly useful in the preoperative assessment of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and ...

For 4 months, a prototype digital subtraction system was used to obtain images of the cerebral vasculature after intraarterial contrast injections. In 12 instances, the intraarterial injections were recorded with both a digital subtraction unit and conventional direct magnification film-screen system. The digital subtraction and conventional film subtraction images were compared and graded for ...
متن کاملIntraarterial digital subtraction angiography of spinal arteriovenous malformations.
Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in two patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas demonstrated the major feeding arteries and the venous drainage of the respective malformations. However, the dural component of the malformations--which distinguishes them from intradural malformations--could not be recognized, nor was normal cord vasculature demonstrated. In a patient ...
متن کاملComments, Opinions, and Reviews Digital Subtraction Angiography: Current Clinical Applications
The applications of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in neurologic diagnosis have been evolving as clinical experience with this technology accumulates. Initial enthusiasm with the intravenous contrast material injections has been tempered by often equivocal results. Intravenous DSA (IV-DSA) is still an accurate screening technique for extracranial carotid atherosclerosis, comparable to du...
