The two-plane type X-ray machine used to diagnose and treat vascular diseases, also known as bi-plane DSA (digital subtraction angiography), applies an innovative technique that enhances the effectiveness and safety of vascular treatment in various parts of the body. This includes the treatment of blood vessel conditions affecting the brain, coronary arteries, abdomen, and arms and legs. It also helps reduce the amount of contrast agent that patients receive and decreases the time required for the procedure.
Bi-plane DSA operates similarly to a CT scanner but can capture images of blood vessels in two planes simultaneously (front and side). The resulting images are sharp, helping doctors to see very small blood vessels clearly, almost as if viewing them in 3D. This capability enables the treatment of complex vascular conditions, especially strokes and neurological issues, as well as vascular conditions in other areas of the body such as the spine, abdomen and heart. Additionally, it helps reduce the amount of contrast agent a patient receives and shortens overall procedure times.
Bi-plane DSA's 3D images aid doctors in measuring, calculating and assessing abnormal vascular positions. Software processes these images, for example to compare blood flow and distribution in the brain's normal and abnormal areas before and after the procedure, enhancing doctors' confidence in the treatments they provide. This makes diagnosis and treatment more convenient and efficient, while patients typically need only a few days after the procedure to recover before resuming their normal activities.
The bi-plane DSA machine, used for diagnosing and treating vascular diseases, aids in the treatment of vascular conditions throughout the body. It is also utilized in cancer treatment, particularly when it is necessary to inject medication directly into a tumor, such as in cases of liver cancer or in cases of abdominal bleeding. In such cases, doctors can use this technology to insert a catheter to deliver medication or hemostatic agents directly to the bleeding site, enhancing patient safety. Bi-plane DSA has the following applications:
Bi-plane DSA technology represents a significant advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of various vascular conditions, offering improved accuracy, safety and efficiency. This innovative technique allows for simultaneous imaging in two planes, producing high-quality 3D images that enhance visualization of blood vessels throughout the body. With its wide range of applications - from treating strokes and coronary artery disease to addressing complex vascular conditions and even assisting in cancer treatment - bi-plane DSA is revolutionizing patient care by reducing procedure times, minimizing radiation exposure and ultimately improving treatment outcomes.
