Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is crucial for visualizing vasculature.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an alternative contrast agent for DSA.
  • Optimizing imaging parameters is essential for improving CO2-DSA quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize vessel angle and image stacking for CO2-DSA.
  • To evaluate the impact of these parameters on image quality and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Main Methods:

  • A water phantom with an artificial vessel tilted at 0°, 15°, and 30° was used.
  • CO2-DSA images were acquired at different vessel tilt angles.
  • The maximum opacity method was employed to stack up to four images.
  • Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was calculated from profile curves.
  • Statistical analysis (Wilcoxon rank sum test) was performed.

Main Results:

  • Images acquired at 15° showed a significantly better SNR compared to 0° (p=0.10).
  • At a 30° vessel angle, stacking two or more images significantly improved profile curves (p<0.05).
  • Optimal image quality was achieved at a 15° vessel tilt angle with image stacking.

Conclusions:

  • Image acquisition and post-processing parameter optimization can significantly enhance CO2-DSA image quality.
  • Image stacking is an effective technique for improving SNR and profile curves.
  • Findings provide guidance for optimizing CO2-DSA protocols for better diagnostic accuracy.
