Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Tailored Protocol
Status
Conditions
Details and patient eligibility
About
Collection of data from different sites regardless of whether they use standard or tailored protocols for the application of high concentration iodinated contrast agents to assess if the individually patient-adapted protocols result in a similar diagnostic image quality.
Full description
To record technical information and compare image quality regarding routine MDCT procedures with contrast administration using a tailored contrast injection and radiation dose protocol. The hypotheses are that the tailored protocols lead to a lower applied mean radiation dose compared to the use of standard protocols and will provide a more standardized contrast dose per patient size without impairing diagnostic quality.
