IV contrast volume and type | 100 cc of Omnipaque-350 | |
Injection Rate | 3 cc/sec | |
Scan delay (sec) | 40 to 50 | |
3D technique used | VRT | |
Comment: Scanning too early can cause "pseudo-lesions." I recommend scanning from the arch through the base of the skull. MPR and coronal 3Ds with VRT are helpful. |
