Difference between angiography and Digital subtraction angiography?
In digital subtraction angiography (DSA), an image is obtained prior to the introduction of the radio-opaque contrast medium. This image is then digitally "subtracted" by turning it into a "negative" and then superimposing the image onto images acquired after the injection of contrast. This theoretically results in everything but the image of contrast within the vessel being subtracted, or removed, leaving a clearer picture. Often due to patient movement, breathing etc, the two images do not exactly superimpose and some residual shadow of the surrounding structures may be visible.
What digital angiography uses video and computer assisted enhancement of images obtained with conventional angiography?
substraction
What is the medical term meaning X-ray imaging of heart and vessels?
Angiography is an x-ray imaging technique usually used to image hearts and vessels. New imaging techniques are also available for the same purpose, for example, CT angiography and MR angiography.

Why subtractor IC is not available?
The operation of subtraction is just the inverse of addition, if you can do one you can do the other. BTW, are you thinking analog or digital IC? If digital there are ALU IC chips that do both, depending ..
What is an angiographic record?
An angiographic record is a visual or digital documentation of blood vessels or organs taken during an angiography procedure. It helps doctors diagnose conditions like blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
What are some key challenges that organizations face during the process of digital transformation?
Absence of clear strategy. Shifting customer expectations. Emerging digital skill shortage. Financial limitations and concerns Poor data handling.
Why do you need test specifications in digital multimeters?
because it might output the wrong answer if not used in the right range/may be faulty/basically knowing its limitations
What is ct scan fistulography?
OBJECTIVE. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential role of the contrast agent gadoterate meglumine for digital subtraction angiography as a single diagnostic procedure or before percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of malfunctioning native dialysis fistulas.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Over a 20-month period, 23 patients (15 women, eight men) with an age range of 42-87 years (mean, 63 years) having end-stage renal insufficiency and with recent hemodialysis fistula surgical placement underwent gadoterate-enhanced digital subtraction angiography with a digital 1024 × 1024 matrix. Opacification was performed on the forearm, arm, and chest with the patient in the supine position using an injection (retrograde, n = 14; anterograde, n = 8; arterial, n = 1) of gadoterate meglumine into the perianastomotic fistula segment at a rate of 3 mL/sec for a total volume ranging from 24 to 32 mL. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed in three patients and required an additional 8 mL per procedure. Examinations were compared using a 3-step confidence scale and a two-radiologist agreement (Cohen's kappa statistic) for diagnostic and opacification quality. Tolerability was evaluated on the basis of serum creatinine levels and the development of complications.RESULTS. No impairment of renal function was found in the 15 patients who were not treated with hemodialysis. Serum creatinine level change varied from -11.9% to 11.6%. All studies were of diagnostic quality. The presence of stenosis (n = 14) or thrombosis (n = 3) in arteriovenous fistulas was shown with good interobserver agreement (κ = 0.71-0.80) in relation to opacification quality (κ = 0.59-0.84). No pain, neurologic complications, or allergiclike reactions occurred. Three percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedures (brachiocephalic, n = 2; radiocephalic, n = 1) were successfully performed.CONCLUSION. Gadoterate-enhanced digital subtraction angiography is an effective and safe method to assess causes of malfunction of hemodialysis fistulas. It can also be used to plan and perform percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
What new technique has better results than conventional mammography?
A new technique called dual-energy contrast enhanced digital subtraction mammography is reported to find cancers that may be missed by conventional mammography.
