Kalra, Mannudeep K.; Becker, Hans-Christoph; Enterline, David S.; Lowry, Carolyn R.; Molvin, Lior Z.; Singh, Ramandeep und Rybicki, Frank J. (2019): Contrast Administration in CT: A Patient-Centric Approach. In: Journal of the American College of Radiology, Bd. 16, Nr. 3: S. 295-301

Abstract

Patient-centric care has garnered the attention of the radiology community. The authors describe a patient-centric approach to iodinated contrast administration designed to optimize the diagnostic yield of contrast-enhanced CT while minimizing patient iodine load and exposure to ionizing radiation, thereby enhancing patient safety while providing reasonable diagnostic efficacy. Patient-centric CT hardware settings and contrast media administration are important considerations for clinical CT quality and safety.
