Abstract: | Imaging modalities utilized in the interventional cardiology suite have seen an impressive evolution and expansion recently,
particularly with regard to the recent interest in three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Despite this, the backbone of visualization
in the catheterization laboratory remains two-dimensional (2D) X-ray fluoroscopy and cine-angiography. New imaging techniques
under development, referred to as three-dimensional rotational angiography (RA) and C-arm CT, hold great promise for improving
current device implantation and understanding of cardiovascular anatomy. This paper reviews the evolution of rotational angiography
and advanced 3D X-ray imaging applications to interventional cardiology. |
