title: The Isocon camera system in digital subtraction imaging.
abstract: A new system for digital vascular subtraction imaging is presented. The image receptor consists of a rare-earth screen with light output optically focused onto the photocathode of a low-light-level image Isocon camera. This system represents a departure from the conventional use of the image intensifier for digital subtraction imaging. Our initial results suggest that this system could be competitive with traditional image intensifier systems and that it deserves clinical trial.
