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

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.
