Fixed rate vs fixed injection duration in single-pass contrast-enhanced abdominal multi-detector CT: effects on vascular enhancement
Single-pass is an optimized contrast-enhanced abdominal CT protocol combining the benefits of vascular and visceral enhancement and characterized by a customized scan delay tailored around a monophasic contrast injection. In single-pass protocol, a fixed injection duration (55 s) results in an overall better vascular enhancement than a fixed rate (2 cc/s) and should be therefore regarded as the injection modality of choice.
