Multi-Slice Computed Tomography 5-Minute Delayed Scan is Superior to Immediate Scan after Contrast Media Application in Characterization of Intracranial Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether the diagnosis of intracranial tuberculosis (TB) can be improved when multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) scans are taken with a 5-min delay after contrast media application. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pre- and post-contrast CT scans of the head were obtained from 30 patients using a 16-slice spiral CT. Dual-phase acquisition was performed...
متن کاملEvaluation of intestinal tuberculosis by multi-slice computed tomography enterography.
BACKGROUND Multi-slice computed tomography enterography (MSCTE) is now widely used to diagnose and monitor intestinal disease. Preliminary studies suggest that MSCTE may be useful in detecting intestinal tuberculosis (ITB). We sought to assess the use of MSCTE for the diagnosis of ITB in our medical center. METHODS In this retrospective study, 15 patients (11 males and 4 females, 6 to 65 year...
متن کاملUrinary iodine excretion after contrast computed tomography scan: implications for radioactive iodine use.
IMPORTANCE Patients who undergo radiographic studies with contrast receive an enormous bolus of iodine. This can delay subsequent use of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy because the iodine can compete for uptake. There is a paucity of literature on the minimum interval between contrast administration and RAI therapy. OBJECTIVE To better characterize how long it takes for the iodine load from ...
متن کاملMulti-slice helical CT: scan and reconstruction.
The multi-slice CT scanner refers to a special CT system equipped with a multiple-row detector array to simultaneously collect data at different slice locations. The multi-slice CT scanner has the capability of rapidly scanning large longitudinal (z) volume with high z-axis resolution. It also presents new challenges and new characteristics. In this paper, we study the scan and reconstruction p...
