 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 DSA imaging principle and image quality control [Abstract] DSA imaging system, described as the principle discussed the factors that affect the DSA image quality and control measures. [Keywords:] DSA; subtraction; artifact; attenuation Digital subtraction angiography (digital subtraction angiography, DSA) is the image enhancement technology, television and computer technology product of the combination, it is the contrast before and after digital subtraction of digital images obtained in the subtraction image to eliminate bone and soft tissue structure, so that the lower concentrations of contrast agent filling of the blood vessels show up in the subtraction, there is a higher image contrast. 1DSA the basic principle of When the single-energy X-rays by a narrow beam as shown in Figure 1, the two evenly-mediated quality, I = I0exp [- (μ B dB μ T dT)] (1a) or ln I = ln I0 - (μ B dB μ T dT) (1b) where μ B, μ T, respectively bone and soft tissue of the linear absorption coefficient, dB, dT, respectively bone and soft tissue thickness. When the blood vessels after the injection of iodine contrast agent, there are: II = I0exp [- (μ B dB μ T (dT-dI) μ I dI] (2a) or ln II = ln I0 - [μ B dB μ T (dT-dI) μ I dI ] (2b) where μ I, dI respectively, the linear absorption coefficient of iodine contrast agents and thickness. vein injection of iodine contrast agent before and after X-ray intensity through a logarithmic deviation: S = ln I-ln II = (μ I-μ T) dI (3) that the subtraction of the image signal after the contrast agent is proportional to the thickness, and contrast agents and soft tissue of the linear absorption coefficient is related to bone and soft tissue structures has nothing to do. Therefore, the reduction Actress eliminate the image of bone and soft tissue structure on the image, and other related effects.
