A CT scan image showing a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. CT Scan of 11 cm Wilms' tumor of right kidney in 13-month-old patient. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis is an application of computed tomography (CT) and is a sensitive method for diagnosis of abdominal diseases. It is used frequently to determine stage of cancer and to ...
A computed tomography urography (CT urography or CT urogram) is a computed tomography scan that examines the urinary tract after contrast dye is injected into a vein. [1]In a CT urogram, the contrast agent is through a cannula into a vein, allowed to be cleared by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary tract as part of the urine.
CT perfusion imaging is a specific form of CT to assess flow through blood vessels whilst injecting a contrast agent. [21] Blood flow, blood transit time, and organ blood volume, can all be calculated with reasonable sensitivity and specificity . [ 21 ]
An intravenous cannula is required for the administration of iodinated contrast. The typical dose is 30-40 g of iodine (corresponding to 20–30 cc of 370 mg/ml iodine solution). [10] However, for patients at high risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, it is possible to reduce the required amount of contrast using dual energy CT.
Volume rendered CT scan of abdominal and pelvic blood vessels. CT angiography is a contrast CT where images are taken with a certain delay after injection of radiocontrast material. The contrast material is radiodense causing it to light up brightly within the blood vessels of interest. In order for the CT scanner to be able to scan the correct ...
plain KUB or abdominal X-ray; an injection of contrast media, typically 50 ml; delayed abdominal X-ray, taken at roughly 15 minutes post injection. If no obstruction is evident on this film a post-micturition film is taken and the patient is sent back to the Emergency department.
Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV-DSA) is a form of angiography which was first developed in the late 1970s.. IV-DSA is a computer technique that compares an X-ray image of a region of the body before and after radiopaque iodine based dye has been injected intravenously into the body.
Iodinated contrast contains iodine.It is the main type of radiocontrast used for intravenous administration.Iodine has a particular advantage as a contrast agent for radiography because its innermost electron ("k-shell") binding energy is 33.2 keV, similar to the average energy of x-rays used in diagnostic radiography.
