Angiowave Imaging
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a reduced radiation protocol (RRP) in which angiograms are acquired at ultralow radiation doses and then processed using spatiotemporal enhancement software can produce similar quality angiographic images as compared with standard techniques.
Coronary angiography is an essential diagnostic tool for determining the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the basic techniques of coronary angiography have remained unchanged, the field of medical imaging has undergone significant advancements in hardware and software, offering new possibilities for enhanced visualization of the coronary arteries, better diagnostic accuracy, and improved patient and staff safety. However, the use of radiation during coronary angiography, which is necessary for image acquisition, expos…
