Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of low concentration contrast agent combined double low dose in CT pulmonary angiography. METHODS: =30,120 kV,50 mL,370 mg I/mL). The average CT value of main right and left pulmonary arteries,lobar arteries was calculated. Imaging post processing techniques included curved plannar reconstruction (CPR),volume rendering (VR) and maximal intensity projection (MIP). The artifact of the remaining contract in the superior vena cava and overall quality of the image were observed and analyzed by two senior doctors who were double blinded. RESULTS: <0.01 all). CONCLUSION: The low concentration contrast agent combined double low dose in CT pulmonary angiography satisfies clinical diagnostic requirements. It has good clinical value for it could reduce venous pollution,iodine contrast agent and radiation exposure.
