Subtraction radiography: techniques and limitations.

Abstract:

:Subtraction radiography permits the use of 7-10 times less contrast material than is required without subtraction techniques. The first-order, second-order, and composite mask techniques are described and evaluated. While the second-order technique gives more complete cancellation of common structures, the more commonly used first-order technique was found to be adequate for most clinical uses. The smallest change in contrast which can be detected using subtraction radiography is limited by inherent background film noise in the original radiographs and not by statistical fluctuations in the x-ray quanta.

  • Pulmonary nodules: detection using magnetic resonance and computed tomography.

    abstract::Detection of pulmonary nodules using spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was compared with detection using computed tomography (CT). Of the 25 patients studied independently by two radiologists, no lung nodules were detected in 11 (CT or MR), ten had a single nodule, and four had multiple nodules. The lesions no...
