The invention relates to a device for disinfecting a lumen, which is formed by a flexible tube (7) with a nozzle head (3), which terminates the tube (7) at a front end and has multiple lateral nozzle openings (4) via which a fluid introduced into the tube (7) can exit radially. A UV-radiation-emitting element (1) is arranged on the nozzle head (3) and can emit UV radiation with a disinfecting effect. The invention also relates to a method for disinfecting a lumen, in which method said device is used. With the device and the method, in particular, the disinfection of the inner lumina of medical products can be largely automated and can therefore be validated better than the previous manual preparation process.

Disclosed is a method for obtaining digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images using a dynamic frame rate. The method dynamically adjusts frame rates in response to motion artifacts during DSA image acquisition. In situations where there is a high degree of motion, the frame rate can be optimized to increase image quality. On the other hand, in situations where there is a low degree of motion, the frame rate can be lowered to limit the radiation exposure to the patient and provider without overly sacrificing image quality.
