  • Abstract
    The intensity and tunability of synchrotron X-ray beams are highly suited to the non-invasive detection of iodine by K-edge digital subtraction angiography. An imnaging system developed for in vivo canine studies is described. Considerations relating to an expanded system for human subject studies are discussed.
