Paper Abstract
Endovascular image-guided intervention (EIGI) has become the primary interventional therapy for the most
widespread vascular diseases. These procedures involve the insertion of a catheter into the femoral artery, which is
then threaded under fluoroscopic guidance to the site of the pathology to be treated. Flat Panel Detectors (FPDs) are
normally used for EIGIs; however, once the catheter is guided to the pathological site, high-resolution imaging
capabilities can be used for accurately guiding a successful endovascular treatment. The Micro-Angiographic
Fluoroscope (MAF) detector provides needed high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and real-time imaging capabilities.
An experimental MAF enabled with a Control, Acquisition, Processing, Image Display and Storage (CAPIDS)
system was installed and aligned on a detector changer attached to the C-arm of a clinical angiographic unit. The
CAPIDS system was developed and implemented using LabVIEW software and provides a user-friendly interface
that enables control of several clinical radiographic imaging modes of the MAF including: fluoroscopy, roadmap,
radiography, and digital-subtraction-angiography (DSA). Using the automatic controls, the MAF detector can be
moved to the deployed position, in front of a standard FPD, whenever higher resolution is needed during
angiographic or interventional vascular imaging procedures. To minimize any possible negative impact to image
guidance with the two detector systems, it is essential to have a well-designed workflow that enables smooth
deployment of the MAF at critical stages of clinical procedures. For the ultimate success of this new imaging
capability, a clear understanding of the workflow design is essential. This presentation provides a detailed description
and demonstration of such a workflow design.
