Contrast Administration in CT: A Patient-Centric Approach. Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR Kalra, M. K., Becker, H., Enterline, D. S., Lowry, C. R., Molvin, L. Z., Singh, R., Rybicki, F. J. 2018

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 andexposure 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.
