Radiologic Diagnosis of Cardiac and Great Vessel Disease

Radiologic Diagnosis of Cardiac and Great Vessel Disease RADIOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS OF CARDIAC AND GREAT VESSEL DISEASE By MELVIN M. FIGLEY, M.D. Department of Radiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington The evolution of cardiovascular radiology continues at a rapid pace through the development of new techniques, the refinement of older methods, and the acquisition of new observations and concepts. To portray its stature and character as of 1961, the writer has reviewed comprehen­ sively though not exhaustively, the extensive literature in the major Eng­ lish language radiologic and cardiologic periodicals from 1959 through August, 1961. Almost to the exclusion of other methods, these reports con­ cern contrast radiography of various sorts. They can be considered con­ veniently from several general aspects: instrumentation, techniques, hazards and observations. INSTRUMENTATION The demands made of present day cardiovascular radiology require (a) fluoroscopic image intensification, preferably television monitored; (b) cineradiography and direct rapid serial filming, each preferably biplane with simultaneous electrocardiographic and manometric recording. Much recent interest in this area has been directed at the selection of the ideal size of image intensifier and cine film. Abrams (1, 2) presented a thorough account of many technical considerations leading to the develop­ ment of a biplane installation with ll-inch image intensifier tubes.
