Abstract

A new neuroangiographic unit has been developed with use of a "C" type gantry, which is capable of rotation and angulation for various angiographic projections. Two sets of a twin focal X-ray tube and an imaging system are mounted on the gantry. Each imaging system consists of a 9 inch image intensifier and a 14 X 14 rapid film changer, which can be exchanged in position rapidly. Stereoscopic magnification and stereoscopic contact angiography, fluoroscopy and DSA are performed in monoplane and biplane and switched over to each other expeditiously and easily. The detailed angiographic information is obtained with lower complication rate and lower exposure to patients. Interventional neuroradiologic procedures are performed efficiently on this unit.
