contrast to
○ highlight an artery.
1930’s

1960’s
pioneered transbrachial selective coronary angiography
Mason Jones
introduced coronary angiography
Melvin Judkins
introduced visceral angiography
Charles Dotter
○ transfemoral angiography entering an artery in the
thigh of selective
○ visceral heart and head arteries were developed.
1960’s
Refers to the opacification of vessels through injection of contrast media
ANGIOGRAPHY
described a method of arterial access in which a catheter was used.
Sven Ivar Seldinger
On what year Sven Ivar Seldinger
described a method of arterial access in which a catheter was used.
1953
The _____ is an 18 Gauge hollow needle with a stylet.
Seldinger needle
○ allow the safe introduction of the catheter into the vessel.
GUIDE WIRES
Conventional guide wires are ___, fabricated with stainless steel, and coated with materials that are designed to reduce friction.
145cm long
○ a thin flexible tube that is inserted into a blood vessel, where in the contrast media is then injected to visualize the vessels.
CATHETERS
After the catheter placement ____ is then used
contrast media
are used to monitor the patient
ECG, BP, and Pulse Oximeter
○ has a small target angle, a large diameter massive anode disc and cathodes designed for magnification and serial radiography
x-ray tube
2 integral parts of IR
Interventional
Fluoroscopy and Radiography
○ is used for guidance and documentation of the progress and steps taken.
FLUOROSCOPY AND RADIOGRAPHY
● real time x-ray imaging technique
● uses an image intensifier tube that is linked to a monitor
CONVENTIONAL FLUOROSCOPY
Differs from conventional fluoroscopy in the imaging system. Can perform DSA.
DIGITAL FLUOROSCOPY.
Is when two radiographic images of the same subject/area are obtained under different conditions and one is subtracted from the other, only the difference of the two images are displayed.
Image subtraction
● Is also called dual energy imaging technique, uses two X-ray beams to produce images of soft tissue and bone
tissue separately.
ENERGY SUBTRACTION
● Involves the use of two images obtained at different times, with an interval ranging from seconds to years.
TEMPORAL SUBTRACTION
Combines the advantages of temporal and dual energy subtraction techniques to achieve simultaneous elimination of overly bone, soft tissue, and motion induced artifacts.
HYBRID SUBTRACTION
● 3 phase, 12 pulse, 100 kW low ripple generator is needed to operate the IR suite/DF.
HIGH VOLTAGE GENERATOR
are more massive, flexible and massive than that required for conventional radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging.
Angio interventional suites
has a small angle, diameter massive anode disk and cathode designed and serial
radiography.
Angio Interventional tubes
● A complex electronic device that receives the image forming x-ray beam and converts it to a visible light image of high intensity.
IMAGE INTENSIFIER.
are grown as tiny needles, they are packed tightly 100-200ųm, results In microlight pipes with little dispersion and excellent spatial resolution.
CSI crystals
bonded directly to the input phosphor, with a transparent adhesive.
PHOTOCATHODE
● devices that are responsible for focusing the electrons, are located along the length of the image intensifier tube.
ELECTROSTATIC FOCUSING LENS
the component of the Image Intensifier Tube that converts the electrons emitted by the photocathode to light photons.
OUTPUT PHOSPHOR
the active material of the output
phosphor.
Zinc Cadmium Sulfide
the ratio of the numbers of the light photons emitted by the output phosphor to the number of light photons
emitted by the input phosphor.
Flux gain
Is the ability of the image intensifier tube to increase the illumination level of the image.
Brightness gain
The square of the input phosphor to the output phosphor area.
MINIFICATION GAIN
○ The image intensifier is coupled directly to a television camera tube.
TELEVISION MONITORING
• Refers to the layout of cells in rows and columns.
• Each cell corresponds to a specific location in the image.
Image Matrix
● each cell of the image matrix
● pixel value determines the pixel brightness
Pixel
- is a subspecialty which provides minimally
invasive diagnosis and /or treatment using
imaging (ultrasound, CT, or fluoroscopy) to
target the intervention and show the results of the intervention.
Interventional radiology
It is a process that intervenes or interferes
with the course of a disease process or other medical condition.
Interventional radiology
It allows the angiographer, a specially trained radiologist to assume an important role in the management and reduction of disease in many patients.
