Contrast enhancement in chest multidetector computed tomography: intraindividual comparison of 300 mg/ml versus 400 mg/ml iodinated contrast medium.
We sought to intraindividually compare intravascular contrast enhancement in multidector computed tomography (MDCT) of the chest using contrast media (CM) containing 300 and 400 mg iodine/ml. ⋯ Using an adapted injection protocol, the administration of 300 and 400 mg iodine CM resulted in a suitable intravascular contrast enhancement in the chest. The use of 400 mg iodine CM does not lead to a statistically significant improvement in contrast enhancement compared to the 300 mg iodine CM.
