Abstract

We describe a new imaging technique for coronary angiography. The conventional approach to coronary angiography exploits static perspective imaging over multiple cardiac cycles, using a limited number of empirically selected views. This approach entails both lack and redundancy of information and may result in suboptimal visualization of the individual lesion, contributing to diagnostic inaccuracy. We developed a new imaging technique exploiting dynamic perspective, obtained by transverse 180 degree rotation of the C arm of a conventional angiographic unit during standard selective coronary opacification and filming. This technique yields a picture of the coronary tree isocentrically rotating around the longitudinal axis and conveying complete three-dimensional information. A complete diagnostic run for both coronary arteries, including two 25 degree cranial and two 25 degree caudal scans is accomplished with a total cine time of 16 s and 45 ml of contrast medium, about half of that required by conventional angiography. In a series of 129 consecutive patients studied by both the conventional and the new technique with quantitative measurements of the severity of the stenoses, the final diagnosis was identical in 65. In no case ...Continue Reading
