Calculations are presented for several 1.4 GeV electron storage ring designs which, with an ultra-high field (80 kG) superconducting wiggler magnet and beam current I = 400 mA, will generate a 33.16 keV x-ray beam at 20 m from the wiggler of adequate intensity (6 10⁹/mm{sup −2} sec{sup −1}) and areal size for iodine K-edge coronary dichromography in humans.
