Digital K-edge subtraction radiography

R A Kruger et al. Radiology. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

K-edge subtraction images have been produced using a digital video image processor. Images formed by three filtered x-ray beams are detected by an image intensifier-Plumbicon system, digitilized, and combined in real time to produce bone- and tissue-free K-edge subtraction images of iodinated structures. Preliminary studies of rhesus monkey cranial, spinal, and abdominal structures are compared with those of conventional radiography.
