Volume-of-interest (VOI) imaging in C-arm angiographyVOI imaging is able to dramatically reduce the radiation
dose required for 3-D interventional imaging. The huge dose
reduction comes from the fact that only a small proportion
of the patient is being imaged. Through these significant
savings, it is possible to use 3-D imaging multiple times
during an intervention which enables improved management in
difficult interventions.VOI imaging can be used for both fluoroscopy and for the 3-D
imaging. A significant problem with this is that the imaging
has many parameters. So far it is not clear how to define
location and size of the VOI, without disrupting the
clinical workflow. Another problem is that until now the
technical capabilities of our angiography systems are not
used to their full extent. As a result, many new
applications and scan protocols are possible and have the
potential to improve clinical workflow. For these reasons, it is useful to examine the possibilities
of VOI imaging. It is subdivided into three fields:
(A) Enhanced 3-D VOI reconstruction
(B) Acquisition with dynamic adaptation of the collimation
