We investigated intravenous digital angiography using computer processed fluoroscopic images. Computer processed fluoroscopy (CPF) was compared to conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 39 patients referred for renal vessel evaluation. For assessment of CPF the anterior-posterior images were compared with the corresponding digital subtraction angiograms. 79% percent of DSA and 71% of CPF studies were diagnostic. Peripheral injection of contrast medium caused deterioration of CPF images. Skin dose measurements were obtained in 24 patients. The median dose for DSA was 8.2 rad, compared to 1.1 rad for CPF. It is concluded that sophisticated algorithms should be investigated for digital angiography, so that high image quality can be achieved with a reduced radiation exposure.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D005471 Fluoroscopy Production of an image when x-rays strike a fluorescent screen. Fluoroscopies
D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
