OBJECTIVE: Over the last decade, rapid technologic evolution in CT has resulted in improved spatial and temporal resolution and acquisition speed, enabling cardiothoracic CT angiography to become a viable and effective noninvasive alternative in the diagnostic algorithm. These new technologic advances have imposed new challenges for the optimization of contrast medium delivery and image acquisition strategies. CONCLUSION: Thorough understanding of contrast medium dynamics is essential for the design of effective acquisition and injection protocols. This article provides an overview of the fundamentals affecting contrast enhancement, emphasizing the modifications to contrast material delivery protocols required to optimize cardiothoracic CT angiography. |
