Assessment of Contrast Media Volume Injected and Image Contrast in Abdominal Pelvic CT Scan and Related Factors in Referral Hospitals in Mazandaran, Iran
Background and purpose: Computed tomography scan (CT) is highly capable of diagnosing abdominal and pelvic lesions. Injection of contrast media at appropriate concentration and volume provides the least side effects and the highest image quality. This study aimed at investigating the volume of contrast medium injected and the level of image contrast compared to the standard model, in the imagi...
متن کاملImproving Patient to Patient CT Value Uniformity with an Individualized Contrast Medium Protocol Tailored to Body Weight and Contrast Medium Concentration in Coronary CT Angiography
To determine whether body weight and concentration dependent contrast medium (CM) injection protocols can improve patient to patient CT value uniformity more than the conventional injection protocols with fixed injection parameters in coronary CT angiography (CCTA), one hundred and sixty patients who underwent CCTA were prospectively randomized into two groups. Group A (n = 80) used individuali...
متن کاملEnhancing patient safety: standardization of CT contrast media practices.
Large health care systems with varied hospital cultures, environments, and practices are continually challenged to provide safer and higher quality patient care. The authors describe their experience implementing uniform procedures for computed tomographic contrast media administration and the impact that standardization of these practices had on patient safety at a large integrated health care...
متن کاملWhen to Order a Contrast-Enhanced CT.
Family physicians often must determine the most appropriate diagnostic tests to order for their patients. It is essential to know the types of contrast agents, their risks, contraindications, and common clinical scenarios in which contrast-enhanced computed tomography is appropriate. Many types of contrast agents can be used in computed tomography: oral, intravenous, rectal, and intrathecal. Th...
متن کاملSubmillisievert standard-pitch CT pulmonary angiography with ultra-low dose contrast media administration: A comparison to standard CT imaging
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the image quality and radiation dose of submillisievert standard-pitch CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with ultra-low dose contrast media administration in comparison to standard CTPA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hundred patients (56 females, 44 males, mean age 69.6±15.4 years; median BMI: 26.6, IQR: 5.9) with suspected pulmonary embolism were examined with two different prot...
