Digital subtraction angiography. Techniques and applications for evaluating cardiac anatomy and function.
The conversion of fluoroscopic x-ray data into a digital form has an added advantage for the study of the central cardiovascular system: it permits the contrast enhancement of the images and also facilitates quantitative and functional analysis of the x-ray data. Several applications are described in this article.
