[Selective coronary angiography via flashing tomosynthesis].

To assess the value and significance of short-term tomosynthesis in judging the pathological condition of coronary vessels, the authors examined 34 patients with coronary heart disease. In comparison with 35 mm cinecoronary angiography, all angiographically determined vascular occlusions and stenoses were identified via short-term tomosynthesis. Comparison of the degrees of stenoses yielded good correlation (r = 0.85). Short-term tomosynthesis offers the advantage of employing smaller amounts of contrast medium to be injected; furthermore, the examination period is shorter, and exposure to radiation is also significantly less.
