Optimizing Pulmonary Embolism Computed Tomography in the Age of Individualized Medicine: A Prospective Clinical Study

Conclusions Simultaneously optimizing both CM injections and kV settings to the individual patient in CTPA results in diagnostic attenuation with on average 24 to 38 mL of CM volume and a low radiation dose for most patients. This individualized protocol may help overcome attenuation-variation problems between patients and kV settings in CTPA.
