TL;DR: The findings indicate that transvenous coronary angiograms can be acquired in this manner and further refinements in the x-ray imaging system are expected to result in increased x-rays fluence and improved image quality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of an excised pig heart to study the properties of an iodinated medium.

TL;DR: Synchrotron radiation provides a new source of X-rays highly-suited to iodine K-edge Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and offers the prospect of visualizing arteries, and in particular the coronary arteries, by peripheral venous injection.

TL;DR: X-ray-based angiography continues to be the standard method of assessing the severity and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and has been employed in serial studies to evaluate the effects of drug therapy and diet on coronary Atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Improvements are being made to the system to increase the effective radiation flux and to measure the position of both x‐ray beams to produce an image with excellent sensitivity to contrast agent and minimal sensitivity to bone and tissue.
