| Scanner Used | GE HiSpeed Advantage |
| Injection Rate | 3.5ml/sec |
| Contrast Volume and Type | 130cc of Isovue-300 |
| Area Scanned | Pancreas and liver on single-phase study only |
| Scan Delay | 20sec for arterial phase / 60sec for venous phase |
| Length of Spiral (time) | 25sec |
| Slice Thickness | 3mm |
| Table Speed/Pitch | 4.5mm/sec or a pitch of 1.5 |
| Reconstruction Interval | 1.3mm |
| 3D Technique Used | MIP and shaded surface |
| Comment: The key is that in order to do good 3D maps quality data is needed. The 3mm collimation with data reconstructed at 1.3mm intervals is the key to this protocol. | |
