Central and peripheral intravenous injections of contrast material for digital subtraction angiography were compared in 30 patients. With 40 ml of contrast material, visualization of the carotid bifurcations was as good with the peripheral as with the central injection. A more consistently high-quality examination of the small intracranial vessels was obtained with the central injection.
