CT Contrast

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Iopamidol   ISOVUE. Low-osmolar (LOCM). NON-IONIC. Non-salts that DO NOT dissociate. Less adverse reactions  
🗑
Ioversol   OPTIRAY. Low-osmolar (LOCM). NON-IONIC. Non-salts that DO NOT dissociate. Less adverse reactions  
🗑
Iohexol   OMNIOPAQUE. Low-osmolar (LOCM). NON-IONIC. Non-salts that DO NOT dissociate. Less adverse reactions  
🗑
Diatrizoate   HYPAQUE. High-osmolar (HOCM). IONIC. Salts (sodium/meglumine) that DO dissociate into 2+ ions.  
🗑
Iothalamate   CONRAY. High-osmolar (HOCM). IONIC. Salts (sodium/meglumine) that DO dissociate into 2+ ions.  
🗑
Iodixanol   VISIPAQUE. Iso-osmolar. Same osmolality as blood. Neutral.  
🗑
Fludeoxyglucose (FDG)   F 18. Nuclear Medicine used for PET scans. Typical dose is 10-15 (mCi). Pt's blood glucose must be 150mg/dL or below & have fasted 6-12 hrs prior.  
🗑
.1% Barium Sulfate   VOLUMEN. Neutral enteral contrast. Low density.  
🗑
Biphasic Injection Technique   A higher rate is injected initially, followed by a lower rate. Helps widen the period of optimum peripheral arterial enhancement.  
🗑
Saline Flush   Helps broaden peak enhancement, allows less contrast to be used, & may lessen adverse affects of CM.  
🗑
Corticomedullary (late arterial) Phase   30-40 sec after injection. Optimal enhancement of the renal cortex /veins. Shows max differentiation b/w renal cortex & renal medulla. Also pancreatic phase.  
🗑
Nephrographic (parenchymal) Phase   70-90 sec after injection. Visualizes renal parenchyma. Renal cortex & medulla are same = good for parenchymal lesions. Portal opticacification & optimal liver enhancement = assessment of disease spread.  
🗑
Excretory (delayed) Phase   After 3-15 min. CM is excreted into renal calyces, opacifying renal pelvis, ureters, & bladder. Demonstrates filling defects & lesions involving the urothelium.  
🗑
Arterial Phase   20-30 sec. Maximum opacification of the arterial enhancement.  
🗑
Portal Venous phase   60-70 sec (45-50 sec) after injection. Optimal gastric/intestinal wall enhancement. & liver parenchymal enhancement.  
🗑
Retrospective Gating   Only data acquired during diastole are used for image reconstruction  
🗑
Prospective Gating   Data acquired in an axial "step and shoot" mode & only during the diastolic portion of the R-R interval  
🗑
Shaded Surface Display (SSD)/Surface Rendering   3D model of a specific tissue type by limiting the displayed volumetric data, on the basis of an attenuation threshold. Adds color, lighting, & textures.  
🗑
Volume Rendering   3D tech that utilizes the entire required data set but adjusts the opacity of voxels in the 3D image, according to the tissue characteristics  
🗑
Iopromide   ULTRAVIST. Low-osmolar (LOCM). NON-IONIC. Non-salts that DO NOT dissociate. Less adverse reactions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
