Abstract
Cineangiographic measurements of cardiac structures require knowledge of the magnification factor due to nonparallelity of the Xβray beams. A new method is presented to determine the magnification factor from cineangiograms based on the patient's height and the height of three vertebral bodies and the adjacent intervertebral distances. The method enables measurement of cardiovascular structures from projected cineangiographic films where the appropriate magnification factor is missing. Furthermore, doubtful magnification factors can be checked out as to their accuracy.

The possibility of measuring small harmonic surface oscillations with the help of a femtosecond laser is analyzed. It is shown that the large number of laser radiation modes allows a considerable increase in the signal-to-noise ratio. The potentialities of the method make possible to increase this r
