Acquired at the Medical University of Lublin, Poland, with a Ziehm Vision RFD Hybrid Edition CMOSline1, roadmapping sub­traction angio­graphy (RSA)

Day in and day out, our C-arms allow the smallest anatomical details in the hidden regions of the human body to be dis­played. These images create interest in particular with its precise rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the extremely fine vascular structures in the brain. Due to patient move­ment during the digital sub­trac­tion angi­og­raphy (DSA), the so-called single frame road­mapping method was used in which a single image is selected from an entire DSA sequence.

The selected image serves as the basis for road­mapping, creating a type of ‘map’ that doesn’t require contrast media to provide the orien­ta­tion that physicians need within the vascular structures. The CMOSline system's out­standing quality makes it easier for physicians to assess images correctly and plan the next steps.
