[The importance of high-speed screen-filmcombinations for coronary angiography (author's transl)].

Radiographs are shown which demonstrate the importance of recently marketed high speed intensifying screens for coronary angiography. The angiograms done with this technique are compared with 1. single frames of a 35 mm cinerecording 2. 70 mm image intensifier spot films 3. Film changer angiograms using conventional calcium-tungstate screen combinations. The author shows the advantages of short exposure times made possible by the high-speed screens and the reduced radiation exposure of the patient and of the examiner.
