  • Continuously sweeping multiple-pass image acquisition system for peripheral angiography
    Patent number: 4995064
    Abstract: In an X-ray imaging system, images of a moving bolus of contrast medium are acquired by the emission of X-ray radiation pulses through an object to be imaged while controlling the longitudinal movement of an X-ray imaging device of said system in a continuously sweeping manner over said object. For limiting motion induced blur in the acquired images to an acceptable level, X-ray exposure values are developed which limit the duration of the X-ray pulses so that they do not exceed a predetermined maximum duration. In a preferred embodiment mutliple passes of the imaging device are made over the object.
