  • Cleveland Clinic Foundation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

While the full digitization and post-processing of cerebral angiography has evolved in remarkable ways to create a new repertoire of therapeutic procedures, there are basic elements of the suite that have remained constant. Diligent attention to these fundamental components is required to insure safe delivery of efficacious care. The health hazards inherent in exposure to diagnostic X-rays are produced through the transfer of energy to tissue by indirect ionization. This process can be further subdivided into: Photoelectric effect.Compton effect.Coherent scattering.
