Abdominal imaging is associated with many potential uses for the different phases of contrast CT.The majority of abdominal and pelvic CT's can be performed using a single-phase, but the evaluation of some tumor types (hepatic/pancreatic/renal), the urinary collecting system, and trauma patients among others, may be best performed with multiple phases.
CT scanning can perform a virtual colonoscopy with greater accuracy and less discomfort for the patient than a traditional colonoscopy. [143] [144] Virtual colonography is far more accurate than a barium enema for detection of tumors and uses a lower radiation dose. [145] CT is a moderate-to-high radiation diagnostic technique.

Flurpiridaz F-18 is a fluorine 18-labeled agent developed by Lantheus Medical Imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. [7]The efficacy and safety of flurpiridaz (18 F) were evaluated in two prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical studies in adults with either suspected CAD (Study 1: NCT03354273) or known or suspected CAD (Study 2: NCT01347710).

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.
