From Research to Individualised Radiology: Optimising Dose and CM application to achieve best image quality in CT
27 Apr 2017
Optimal image quality in CT imaging is essential to establish correct diagnosis. Many hospitals use “one size fits all” protocols, but modern CT scanners allow for much more individualization of CT imaging protocols. Contrast media should be tailored to these protocols especially in lower kVp settings. Furthermore, contrast media protocols can be tailored to the individual patient, as patient differ in size and weight which results in differences of blood volume. Therefore, less heavy patients need less contrast media, while heavier patients might need more contrast media.
Learning objectives: 1. To become familiar with the most important characteristics and parameters of contrast media and how they are affecting image quality. 2. To gain knowledge about the combination of reduced radiation dose in combination with optimized contrast media application for optimal image quality.
