CT densities in delayed iodine hepatic scanning. 1985

R B Perkerson, and B C Erwin, and B R Baumgartner, and V M Phillips, and W E Torres, and J L Clements, and K Gedgaudas-McClees, and M E Bernardino

Sixty patients underwent CT scanning of the liver prior to, immediately after, and four hours after intravenous administration of 60% meglumine diatrizoate. Twenty patients received a 50 ml bolus of contrast material (14.6 g of iodine), 20 received 100 ml (29.2 g of iodine), and 20 received 200 ml (58.4 g of iodine). In each group, delayed CT scanning safely raised the inherent density of the liver significantly (increase of 14.3% using 50 ml; 23.9% using 100 ml; and 40.7% using 200 ml). Thus, delayed scanning with doses presently used in abdominal and neurological CT examinations may be helpful in detecting hepatic lesions.
