Abstract

Four dimensional visualization (FDV) project for clinical angiography has started at National Cancer-Center since 1995 in cooperation with medical virtual reality projects in our center. All stereo pair of x-ray angiographic images, both digital images and film based conventional x-ray images, are available in this system. FDV system software was developed on a Silicon Graphics platform. Every stereo pair angiographic images can be viewed stereoscopically using a stereoscopic visualization interface. Series of image data sets provide three dimensional blood flow dynamics that is very useful to diagnose vascular encasement by the tumor and to determine vessel of purpose which locates in front or in back from superimposed angiographic images. FDV system is expected to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology (IVR) procedures. In future, angiography system will equipped with a stereoscopic visualization interface that will provide a more flexible and more effective guidance tool for diagnostic radiology, especially for IVR that requires image-guided procedure.

Transhepatic vascular access for diagnostic and interventional procedures: techniques, outcome, and complications.

Early or multiple cardiac catheterizations may result in occlusion of the femoral veins prohibiting their use. The internal jugular or sub-clavian approach may be an appropriate alternative. However, these approaches may not be suitable in patients with surgical interruption of the superior vena cava. In other patients, they may not allow easy access to certain areas of the heart. The transhepatic approach is an important alternative route for performing cardiac catheterization and interventions. Depending on the planned procedure, it may be the preferred route to perform the cardiac catheterization even in the presence of patent femoral veins. The indications, technical details and potential complications of this approach are discussed.

Embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture in a patient with persistent sciatic artery.

Emergency embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture was performed in a patient with persistent sciatic artery, a rare anatomic variation in which the internal iliac artery continues to the popliteal artery. Successful hemostasis was achieved without complications by means of selective catheterization into each branch of the internal iliac artery. Awareness of this unusual vascular anatomy is critically important to avoid serious complication of emergency embolization.
