Evaluation of the Practice of Performing Abdominal CT Scan with Manually Administered Fixed Dose of Contrast in Achieving Adequate Hepatic Enhancement: An Institutional-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Background. Intravenous (IV) iodine-based contrast agents are administered during computed tomography (CT) examination to enhance the density differences between lesions and surrounding parenchyma, which is important for lesion characterization, and to demonstrate vascular anatomy and vessel patency...
