Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Angiographic imaging requires high clarity for accurate diagnosis.
  • Diaphragmatic motion can degrade image quality in sub-phrenic angiography.
  • Existing methods may not fully address image artifacts caused by diaphragmatic interference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a diaphragmatic compensating filter (DCF) for enhancing angiographic image clarity.
  • To assess the effectiveness of the DCF in improving image quality in hepatic angiography.
  • To determine the clinical utility of the DCF in both conventional and digital subtraction angiography.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a diaphragmatic compensating filter (DCF) for the sub-phrenic region.
  • Determination of DCF shape based on diaphragm outlines and optical density.

  • Evaluation of DCF effectiveness using an image analysis system and clinical results.
  • Assessment of tolerance to diaphragmatic respiratory motion.

    • Main Results:

    • The DCF was effective in over 95.8% of angiograms.
    • Clinical results demonstrated remarkable improvement in image clarity.
    • Image analysis showed a >27% improvement in clinical areas with DCF compared to without.
    • The DCF demonstrated a smallest tolerance of 13.2 mm for diaphragmatic motion.

    Conclusions:

    • The diaphragmatic compensating filter (DCF) is indispensable for improving image quality in hepatic angiography.
    • DCF significantly enhances clarity in both conventional and digital subtraction angiography.
    • A single type of DCF is compatible with lateral compensating filters, offering versatility.
