We have used the electron storage ring, NewSUBARU, as a beam monitor of the SPring-8 linac. The time and transverse profiles of the injected linac beam are recorded in a frame of a dual-sweep streak camera. A measurements through synchrotron or betatron oscillation in the ring gives multi-dimensional beam structure. The system functions as a final check of the linac beam. It gives the time profile and energy profile or transverse emittance, which includes Twiss parameters. It measures parameters of one linac bunch in a long macro pulse. A shot-by-shot measurement gives beam fluctuations. We report how we use the system and its contribution to the stable top-up operation. The beam loading effect on the bunch energy was obtained by bunch-by-bunch energy profile measurements. It confirmed the optimization of the ECS (Energy Compression System) parameters. The single shot bunch-by-bunch vertical emittance measurement proved the difference between the front bunch and the following bunches. The same measurement showed a timing jitter of the electron gun pulse although the rf synchronization was perfect. This jittering had made the injection efficiency unstable.

Angiography is one of the most reliable and contemporary procedure of the vascular system imaging. X-ray spectrums provided by all modern medical angiographs are too broad to acquire high contrast images and provide low radiation dose at the same time. The new method of narrow X-ray spectrum achieving is based on the idea of channelling radiation application. The X-ray filters used in this method allows eliminating the high energy part of the spectrum and providing dramatic dose reduction. The scheme of the facility including the X-ray filter is discussed. The results of the spectrum analysis for the channelling radiation source and typical angiography X-ray tube are discussed. Doses obtained by the water phantom and contrast of the iodine agent image are also provided for both cases.
