title: Measurement of blood vessel diameter for angiography using refraction contrast imaging.
abstract: We developed micro blood vessel diameter measurement algorithm for angiography using refraction contrast by monochromatic X-ray of the 3rd generation synchrotron radiation with the high degree parallel beam. The accuracy is evaluated using the actually obtained image.
