  • Title: Intravenous digital subtraction angiography of the thoracic and abdominal aorta.

    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1983; 6(4-6):205-13. PubMed ID: 6360359.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV DSA) is a new imaging modality that utilizes techniques of video image acquisition and computer image manipulation to provide anatomic information about blood vessels and organs. In many ways, it represents an electronic version of classic intravenous and film-subtraction angiography. As a means of imaging the thoracic and abdominal aorta, IV DSA has demonstrated great potential, particularly in vessels originally imaged by the former techniques. We have imaged the aorta in over 300 cases at Brigham and Women's Hospital, either alone, or in combination with other vessels in the course of work-up for vascular disease. Although experience has been limited, intravenous imaging of the aorta can be routinely performed, providing reliable and clinically significant information.
