Contrast-enhanced CT in sepsis: insights from a European Emergency Radiology survey
Question While contrast-enhanced CT can aid in detecting the infectious focus, this study explores emergency radiologists' perspectives on its role in sepsis management. Findings Radiologists and clinicians from different subspecialties agree on the importance of promptly performed (≥ 1-6 h) CECT in sepsis management and the contraindications of contrast application. Clinical relevance This survey shows that radiologists and clinicians largely agree on the importance of CECT in sepsis management.
