Popis:	This is a study of the use of a dual-beam, dual-detector synchrotron radiation system for transvenous coronary angiography in a human subject. This system eliminates the need for rapid beam switching, increases X-ray fluence by a factor of about 2.5, and makes it possible to record high- and low-energy images simultaneously, thus excluding artifacts arising from time subtraction. Besides coronary angiography, it may be possible to image the vertebral-basilar arterial circulation with this system.
