title: Angiocardiography with small-size rapid cassette changer films.
abstract: The disadvantages of small-size 10 X 10 cm. films in angiocardiography do not preclude correct diagnosis in a well equipped cardiac laboratory. On the contrary, the advantages are such as to recommend a more extensive use. In our department the method has been limited to pediatric patients, mainly because of excessive scattered radiation at high kVp. It is hopeful that improvement in recording and combination with image intensification will make the system available in the future for adult use.
