Panoramic Coronary Angiography
We describe a new imaging technique for coronary angiography.The conventional approach to coronary angiography exploits static perspective imaging over multiple cardiac cycles, using a limited number of empirically selected views. This approach entails both lack and redundancy of information and may result in suboptimal visualization of the individual ...
