High impact information on Cineradiography

• Deformation was measured by imaging columns of implanted radiopaque markers with high-speed, biplane cineradiography (16 mm, 120 frames/sec) [1].
• With valves manufactured after late 1975, which contain a tantalum foil hoop, cineradiography is the most rapid and accurate method of showing the disk [2].
• Doppler-derived values of the ATS valve were comparable with those previously reported; however, cineradiography of the valve demonstrated that the mean angle enclosed by the two open leaflets was 37.6 degrees (range: 34 degrees to 44 degrees) in the aortic position and 29.7 degrees (range: 20 degrees to 35 degrees) in the mitral position [3].
• It is suggested that if standard roentgenograms are inconclusive, CT scan is recommended for further evaluation of C1 fractures and C1-C2 rotatory subluxation in preference to tomography and cineradiography [4].
• Twenty-seven patients with bileaflet prosthetic valve malfunction diagnosed by a combination of cineradiography and transthoracic echocardiography were treated with the administration of intravenous t-PA [5].

Anatomical context of Cineradiography

• The position of radiopaque markers previously placed to define segments of myocardium is recorded by biplane cineradiography [6].
• Radiopaque marker in the tilting disc of the Björk-Shiley heart valve. Evaluation of in vivo prosthetic valve function by cineradiography [7].
• The vector of left ventricular wall motion directed toward the lungs, determined by high-speed cineradiography of the motion of a tantalum marker inserted in the wall of the left ventricle, looked very similar to the pneumocardiogram [8].

Associations of Cineradiography with chemical compounds

• We have previously demonstrated by cineradiography analysis that erythromycin (Ery) increases antral contractility and antropyloric coordination in diabetics [9].
• Despite adequate warfarin therapy, routine cineradiography performed on the 40th postoperative day showed one of the leaflets of the tricuspid prosthesis to be "stuck" in the semiclosing position [10].

Gene context of Cineradiography

• When suspected, an esophagram with tele- or cineradiography is essential to confirm the diagnosis [11].
