dc.description.abstractMany cases in trauma involve vessel imaging to determine integrity and the origin of lesions or blockages. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a tool used to improve the clarity of the vessels being imaged for better and easier decision making in diagnostics and planning. Lodox, a low dose x-ray system developed by Debex (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of de Beers, was designed specifically for the trauma environment. It therefore follows that, if possible, a function so readily used in trauma, such as DSA, should be added to the imaging repertoire of an x-ray system designed for use in this environment. In this dissertation the feasibility of using Lodox to perform DSA is therefore explored. In doing so, the requirements of a trauma unit and the theory behind DSA were researched so as to obtain a better understanding into what would be required.en_ZA
