摘要: A method of imaging a blood vessel such as coronary artery includes the steps dual energy providing radiation source and detector on opposing sides target area at plurality angular positions through area. The is gated after administering contrast agent intravenously to obtain first signals indicative views said are then tomosynthesisly combined provide planar image Preferably, gating based selected time using an electrocardiogram, least two levels each level views. Soft tissue eliminated by combining levels.
