Abstract

The Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor (DSR) is a high-temporal resolution, three-dimensional (3-D) X-ray scanning device based on computed tomography (CT) principles. It was designed for investigation of some problems inherent in current diagnostic imaging techniques, and to allow quantitative studies of cardiovascular structure and function. One of the research protocols in which DSR is currently used involves studying selected pediatric patients with complex congenital heart disease. Initial results show that 3-D dynamic images can be obtained from these patients with minimal invasiveness and that these images may provide useful diagnostic information.
