If a subject moves during fluoroscopy image acquisition, a misalignment between the mask image and the live image will result.

To correct the alignment select the manual pixel-shift tool using the Radiant-Dicom-Viewer-DSA-Mask-Manual-Pixel-Shift-Button button or by pressing the  Shift + M  keys.

 

Press the left mouse button on the image and drag the mouse in different directions to obtain the best match between the mask and the live image. The bone edges should disappear, and only contrasted vessels should remain visible.
