Minimizing contrast media dose in CT pulmonary angiography with high-pitch technique.

CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic CTPA with 17 ml contrast media is possible in non-obese patients using low kVp, high pitch and carefully designed contrast media administration. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: By combining several procedures in a CTPA protocol, the contrast media dose can be minimized. PMID: 32436788 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
