Contrast medium administration and image acquisition parameters in renal CT angiography: what radiologists need to know.
Over the last decade, exponential advances in computed tomography (CT) technology have resulted in improved spatial and temporal resolution. Faster image acquisition enabled renal CT angiography to become a viable and effective noninvasive alternative in diagnosing renal vascular pathologies. However, with these advances, new challenges in contrast media administration have emerged. Poor synchr...
متن کاملPrevention Strategies of Contrast Medium Induced Nephropathy (CIN): A Review of the Current Literature
Contrast medium Induced Nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of renal failure for inpatients and represents the 10% of all Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurring during hospital-stay. It is associated with prolonged hospitalization, cost increase and, above all, an unfavourable shortand long-term prognosis with acceleration of chronic renal disease [1]-[3]. The imaging techniques most ...
متن کاملThe effect of CT contrast agents on treatment planning and dose calculation in radiation therapy of pelvis cancers
Introduction: Using contrast medium in diagnosis and identifying of an organ from its surrounding tissue is very useful. These contrast mediums alter radiation absorption of studied organs. The aim of this study is to identify the influences of contrast media in treatment planning system of the pelvis. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with pelvis area ...
متن کاملApplication of Different methods for Reducing Radiation Dose to Breast during MDCT
The increased use of computed tomography (CT) and its high radiation dose have led to great concerns about its potential for radiation induced cancer risks. Breast is a radiosensitive tissue based on tissue weighting factors assigned by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Moreover, the dose is maximal on the surface of the patient. Therefore, strategies should be tak...
متن کاملDouble-Low Dose Protocol of Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism: A Feasible Approach for Reduction of Both Contrast Medium and Radiation Doses
This article discusses a hot topic on double low-dose protocol of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, with a special focus on a recent paper published in the British Journal of Radiology about the feasibility of this technique. Three aspects will be discussed in this review: First, both kVp and contrast medium can be reduced without affecting...
