imitations of Intravenous Digital Subtraction Angiography

چکیده
Eighteen digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examinations were retrospectively evaluated for factors that led to their erroneous interpretation. Overlapping vessels obscured pathologic conditions in five cases. In four cases the lesions were not adequately profiled by the DSA projections. Eight lesions were rendered inconspicuous by misregistration artifacts attributable to motion, either from swallowing or from pulsation of vessel walls. One diagnostic error was caused by poor opacification from a degraded contrast bolus secondary to low cardiac output.

Intravenous 3D digital subtraction angiography in the diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Recent progress in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) devices makes it possible to perform rotational angiography with high resolution and high sensitivity. We tried intravenous (IV) 3D DSA in patients who had undergone MR angiography (MRA) suggestive of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. IV 3D DSA can be used as an alternative method for imaging unruptured intracranial aneurysms suggested o...
متن کاملIntravenous digital subtraction angiography of the nearly occluded internal carotid artery.
Three patients with nearly occluded internal carotid artery origins were evaluated with intravenous digital subtraction angiography and subsequently had successful carotid endarterectomies. The angiographic features are described. Although conventional arterial angiography offers superior spatial resolution and selectivity, the thorough mixing of blood and contrast medium that occurs with the i...
متن کاملDigital subtraction angiography of glomus tympanicum and jugulare tumors.
Radiologic procedures used to evaluate patients with suspected glomus tumor have included plain skull radiography, temporal bone tomography, computed tomography, and cerebral angiography. Of these, only angiography has proven reliable as a screening procedure for small glomus tympanicum and jugulare tumors. Digital subtraction angiography was used as the initial examination for suspected paraga...
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...
متن کاملBrain death: use of dynamic CT and intravenous digital subtraction angiography.
Brain death results when irreversible intracranial circulatory arrest, involving both the internal carotid and intracranial vertebral basilar systems, occurs despite preservation of extracranial circulation . To document the absence of intracranial blood flow and establish the irreversibility of the condition, intraarterial cerebral angiography and radionuclide cerebral angiography have become ...
