Peak tissue enhancement is determined by blood volume but also depends upon cardiac output (which can vary from one patient to the other) and the volume of CA injected [10]. Furthermore, in the case of all presently available NS-CA, the intra- and extra-vascular components of enhancement cannot be evaluated separately [ 14]. It is also well known that the imaging window in CT angiography is very short and is classically compensated by the injection of high doses of NS-CA or the use of bolus-tracking software. [Pg.154]

Scanners equipped with a bolus tracking function can use a variable prep delay in order to minimize venous enhancement. However, this adds complexity to scanning protocols and introduces the potential for... [Pg.65]

As an alternative to bolus tracking, a smartscan type function can be used, in which a test bolus is administered to determine the scan delay [64]. A region of interest is selected, typically in the proximal ICA, and 10 mL of contrast is injected. This region is scanned continuously using a low mAs/kVp technique, and the prep delay is chosen as the time corresponding to... [Pg.66]

Temporal analysis is used for bolus tracking (time-density quantification), functional maps of local perfusion parameters (of heart and brain), contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast, cardiac output calculations by measuring the volume of the left ventricle over time, multiple sclerosis lesion growth / shrinkage over time, regional cardiac wall thickness variations and local stress/strain calculations, and in fluoroscopy, e.g. the freezing of the stent in the video by cancellation of the motion of the coronary vessel. [Pg.131]

In addition to injection duration, variable cardiac output parameters of individual patients will have to be addressed. In principle, the two methods to assess the contrast arrival are test bolus techniques and so-called bolus tracking. Both approaches measure Carr and therefore adapt for varying cardiac output. The... [Pg.101]
