Injections for joint pain will usually only require direct needle puncture. However, in difficult cases, small deep joints, it is necessary to have instructions for digital background removal to ensure accuracy and safety for the patient.

Digital erasure scan, also known as DSA, is an endoscopic fluorescence technique, used in interventional radiology to give a clearer picture of blood vessels. The radiation-blocking structures are digitally removed from the image, so the blood vessels can be seen in detail.
A DSA imaging system has the following structure:
X-ray generator; The image acquisition department; Image processing department; Display department. Thanks to this method, doctors can soon detect abnormal blood flow conditions, help diagnose and treat diseases related to blood circulation accurately, and plan surgery, accurately identify locations. hurt mind. Therefore, most cases of cardiovascular disease, especially myocardial infarction, are diagnosed and treated promptly;
Besides, the support of DSA makes endoscopic cardio-thoracic surgery less invasive. Reducing pain and bleeding, shortening the time of mechanical ventilation, resuscitation, ... for patients.
