	Office of Science and Technology FY 2001 Annual Report
		OST scientists are using the lab to study the response of the coronary and carotid arteries to initial balloon angioplasty injury and then to subsequent re-intervention with angioplasty or stents for the treatment of restenosis.
		OST scientists are applying their expertise to the development of a CDRH web site on CT, the development of amendments to the diagnostic x-ray performance standard, the development of an advisory pertaining to pediatric CT exposures, and the joint planning of a consensus development conference on CT with NIH.
		OST responded to increasing interest in the medical imaging community in the use of higher-voltage x-ray spectra for digital mammography and iodine-contrast-enhanced mammography, and the absence in the literature of measurements of such spectra for the common mammography x-ray tube anode materials.
