  2. Contrast CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_CT

    A CT pulmonary angiogram, in this case showing pulmonary embolism of saddle-type, which becomes more radiolucent than the radiocontrast filled blood surrounding it (but it may be indistinguishable without radiocontrast). Contrast CT, or contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), is X-ray computed tomography (CT) using radiocontrast.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_pulmonary_angiogram

    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.

  4. Computed tomography of the chest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography_of_the...

    Contrast agents are sometimes used in CT scans of the chest to accentuate or enhance the differences in radiopacity between vascularized and less vascularized structures, but a standard chest CT scan is usually non-contrasted (i.e. "plain") and relies on different algorithms to produce various series of digitalized images known as view or "window".

  5. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography...

    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 ...

  6. High-resolution computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_computed...

    Low-dose high-resolution (1.25 mm) chest CT. HRCT is performed using a conventional CT scanner. However, imaging parameters are chosen so as to maximize spatial resolution: [1] a narrow slice width is used (usually 1–2 mm), a high spatial resolution image reconstruction algorithm is used, field of view is minimized, so as to minimize the size of each pixel, and other scan factors (e.g. focal ...

    Contrast CT is generally the initial study of choice for neck masses in adults. [39] ... Chest CT 5–7 [167] 13 [185] CT colonography: 6–11 [167] Chest, abdomen ...

  8. Radiocontrast agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocontrast_agent

    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.
