Comparison of different iodine concentrations for multidetector row computed tomography angiography of segmental renal arteries

Abstract: The aims of this study were (1) to assess the diagnostic performance of multidetector row computed tomography angiography (CTA) on imaging of renal artery branches and (2) to investigate the effect of different iodine concentrations at constant total iodine load and either constant injection rates or constant iodine administration rates. A number of 120 consecutive patients (71+/-6 years of age) underwent CTA of renal arteries (collimation 4 x 1 mm) using the nonionic contrast medium iopromide, and were divide… Show more

“…[6][7][8][9] Many studies have described comparisons of contrast media with different iodine concentrations for the enhancement of organs and vessels on CT scans. [10][11][12][13] In most studies of solid organs, a higher iodine concentration results in higher CT enhancement of early phase images. 10,14,15 In our evaluation, despite the use of a 37% lower iodine concentration in the study group (270 mg I/mL vs 370 mg I/mL), we did not find significant differences in the enhancement of images between the study group and control group (P>.05).…”

“…It has become critical for planning further treatment or evaluation. There have been several articles comparing the qualities of images derived from different iodine concentrations in the upper abdomen or renal arteries using 240, 300, or 370 mgI/ mL (18,19). However, no reports have characterized small renal lesions using these different iodine concentrations.…”
