[Neuroradiologic detail diagnosis--magnification angiography]. 1980

H P Molsen

The basis of a radiological enlargement techniques is the ultra-fine focus roentgen tube. By approaching the part of the body to be examined to the source of the X-rays it is now possible to obtain an image enlargement with a good discernability of details. Limiting factors are the higher radiation exposure of the patient and the existing limits of the resolving power. The purpose of the technique is the clear and essential improvement of the discernability of details which are already seen in conventional angiography rather than the representation of structures invisible until now. That is why the author always employs the magnification angiography after the usual angiography. If the latter does not yield a sufficient visualisation of details (e.g. supply of the vessels of certain tumours, vessels of the stem ganglia and the like) and the increased radiation exposure can be put up with, the enlargement technique is the used. An ultra-fine focus of 0.3 mm edge length, a focus-film distance of 100 cm, and a focus-object distance of 45 cm are used. The image scale is doubled to reach 2.25. The additional information obtained in angiotomography is pointed out.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011858 Radiographic Magnification Use of optic and geometric techniques to enhance radiographic image quality and interpretation. It includes use of microfocal X-ray tubes and intensifying fluoroscopic screens. Magnification, Radiographic,Magnifications, Radiographic,Radiographic Magnifications
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
