Abstract

An exemplary embodiment comprises an image intensifier television chain and an image subtraction device, connected thereto, with three image memories. In two image memories, a blank image is stored, respectively, whereby the first blank image is automatically stored long before commencement of the rise of the contrast medium concentration. Through observation of the difference image in a fluoroscopy operation with a low dose rate, the time of the rise of the contrast medium concentration can be precisely located. Then a radiographic recording series follows with a high dose rate per image. This radiographic series may be retained in an on-line operation using a hard copy-series device. No subsequent off-line-operation is necessary.
