Popis: Energy-selective enhanced K-edge angiography utilizing a conventional x-ray generator is described. The x-ray generator is SOFRON NST-1005, and the maximum tube voltage and current are 100 kV and 5 mA, respectively. In the present research, the tube voltage ranged from 45 to 65kV, and the tube current was regulated to optimum values. The exposure time is controlled in order to obtain optimum x-ray intensity. At a charging voltage of 60 kV, the x-ray intensity rate obtained using an aluminum and a barium sulfate filters were 58.4 and 51.6 μGy/s at 0.7m per pulse, respectively, and the dimensions of the focal spot were approximately 1×1 mm. Angiography was performed using both the aluminum and the barium sulfate filters with a charging voltage of 60 kV.
