Predicting hepatic enhancement in contrast-enhanced CT abdomen: A systematic review and meta-analysis of patient-specific factors
Weight- or BSA-based dosing should be considered over fixed-dose protocols to achieve consistent hepatic enhancement. Incorporating standardized LBW estimation may further improve image quality and patient safety. Future research should focus on methodological consistency and diverse population validation.
