Proposal of a novel protocol using estimated cardiac index fractional dose to improve aortic contrast enhancement for early-phase dynamic CT

Abstract. Maximum aortic computed tomography value (CTV) is difficult to control because of variations in cardiac function and patient physique. Therefore, to improve early-phase aortic enhancement on dynamic computed tomography (CT), we developed an estimated cardiac index fractional dose (eciFD)....
