Pulmonary CTA and Chest CT Protocols

CT examinations were performed with two multi-detector CT scanners (Emotion 6, Siemens, Germany and Alexion 16, Toshiba Medical Systems, Japan). Of 82 CT scans, 53 were obtained according to the pulmonary CTA protocol and 29 according to the conventional chest CT protocol.
For CTA, the patients were administered 120 ml of non-ionic contrast material at the rate of 3-4 ml/s into an arm vein by using a power injector. A bolus tracking technique triggered at 100 HU on the pulmonary trunk was used with 10 seconds delay. Other scanning parameters were as follows: pitch, 1.43; rotation time, 0.75 s; slice thickness, 1 mm; and reconstruction interval, 1 mm. Tube currents were adjusted using automatic tube current modulation.
For contrast-enhanced chest CT, 75-80 ml of a non-ionic contrast medium was intravenously administered at the flow rate of 2-3 ml/s using an automated injector. Scanning started at 25 s after the initiation of contrast agent administration.

Taken initial admission CT images for all included cases were imported into picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Pediatric head CTs were independently reviewed by two different radiologists (YK and ST) to prevent bias. Radiologists were unaware of the patients' age, trauma shape, and Glasgow Coma Score. All the CT scans were obtained by the 16-slice CT scanner (Alexion 16, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tochigi, Japan), a 3 mm single slice section. Scans of the cranium were displayed using a standard Toshiba mediastinum algorithm at a window level, of 10 and window width of 300 HU. All measurements were made using the same window, contrast and brightness. ONSD was measured as suggested in the literature, posterior to the orbital cortex at a distance of 3 mm from the optic disc. [14, (link)18] (link) Firstly, measurements were taken from both optical sheaths, and then an average value was obtained for each patient by one of the radiologists. Patients who could not be measured from both eyes were excluded from this study. One of the radiologists evaluated, head CT images, for fracture, hemorrhage (subdural-epidural-subarachnoid-intraventricular), basal cistern compression, herniation, the shift in midline structures and calculated RCTS according to prespecified parameters.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
