Contrast-enhanced cranial computed tomography in magnetic resonance imaging era.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of intravenous contrast administration in cranial computed tomography (CT) in a general hospital with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facility, and to establish a protocol to determine which patients would benefit most from using contrast-enhanced cranial CT. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five hundred and forty-seven patients who underwent routine nonenhanced CT...
متن کاملDiazepam prophylaxis of contrast media-induced seizures during computed tomography of patients with brain metastases.
The effect of 5 mg of intravenous diazepam (Valium) on contrast media-associated seizure incidence was studied in a randomized controlled trial involving 284 patients with known or suspected brain metastases undergoing cerebral computed tomography. Of these patients, 188 were found to have brain metastases, and it is estimated that for this subgroup prophylactic diazepam reduces the risk of con...
متن کاملIntravenous contrast media application using cone-beam computed tomography in a rabbit model
PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of visualizing soft tissue lesions and vascular structures using contrast-enhanced cone-beam computed tomography (CE-CBCT) after the intravenous administration of a contrast medium in an animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT was performed on six rabbits after a contrast medium was administered using an injection dose of 2 mL/kg b...
متن کاملImmediate adverse reactions to intravenous iodinated contrast media in computed tomography.
This exploratory-descriptive, non-experimental quantitative research aimed to learn about immediate adverse reactions to intravenous iodinated contrast media in hospitalized patients submitted to computed tomography at a teaching hospital in the South of Brazil. During the study period, all adverse reactions showed mild intensity, at a frequency of 12.5% with ionic iodinated contrast media, and...
متن کاملContrast Media in Abdominal Computed Tomography: Optimization of Delivery Methods
OBJECTIVE To provide a systematic overview of the effects of various parameters on contrast enhancement within the same population, an animal experiment as well as a computer-aided simulation study was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS In an animal experiment, single-level dynamic CT through the liver was performed at 5-second intervals just after the injection of contrast medium for 3 minutes...
