Electronic imaging fundamentals: basic theory.

Introduction of the computer into the field of medical imaging, as typified by the extensive use of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), created an important need for a basic understanding of the principles of digital imaging. This paper reviews these fundamental principles, starting with the definition of images and the interaction of these images with television display systems, then continuing with a detailed description of the way in which imaging systems are specified. This work defines the basic terms and concepts that will be used throughout the contents of this issue.

Angiography

An overview of digital radiography systems.

A variety of systems are under development to provide digital radiography information. While not all systems are capable of clinically acceptable digital subtraction arteriography - many being limited by temporal resolution factors - these systems represent the foundation for digital radiology in general. The method of operation of each system is outlined to provide an understanding of the basis for present and future digital radiology.
