Simultaneous Material Decomposition for Motion-free, High-performance Digital Subtraction Angiography

Unmet Need· Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is an imaging technique that utilizes a contrast agent and subtraction of radiopaque structures (like bone) to visualize blood vessels for the assessment of cardiovascular disease (Stanford). However, due to involuntary motion of soft tissue, this subtractive measure is often misregistered, leading...

Spectral DSA

Unmet NeedCT angiography with digital subtraction (DSA) is the standard diagnostic imaging method for cardiovascular abnormalities (1). This technique captures images both before and after injection of radiopaque contrast; images are then subtracted from one another, leaving only contrast enhanced vasculature in the final image. While DSA is the gold...

Non-circular CT Orbit Design for Minimization of Metal Artifacts

Unmet Need· Computed tomography scans (CT) are highly detailed, cross-sectional images that provide critical information for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (FDA); however, this imaging modality is susceptible to “missing data” due to metal artifacts of implants or other tools (Alzain et al.). Current techniques to overcome these obscured...
