Abstract
The effect of spatial orientation of the X-ray gantry on the geometric image distortion caused by the image intensifier (II) is assessed. Variations in absolute positions up to 0.6 mm (14 cm II size), 1.1 mm (17 cm), and 2.8 mm (27 cm) are found for the used Hicor X-ray system. The pixel size varies up to 0.8% (14 cm), 1.1% (17 cm), and 2.3% (27 cm). It is concluded that for accurate quantitative coronary angiography and 3D reconstructions it is necessary to measure the distortion and to correct for it at each of the used orientations
