Multimodal CT Imaging for Stroke Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Baseline multimodal CT imaging included brain NCCT, head and neck CT angiography (CTA), and brain CT perfusion (CTP). All baseline multimodal CT images were acquired using a 256-channel scanner (Brilliance 256; Philips Healthcare). Follow-up CT/MRI was obtained 24 h after the baseline NCCT. The scanning parameters for NCCT were: 120 kV, 200 mAs. The scanning parameters for CTP were 80 kV, 80 mAs, and 64 mm × 1.25 mm detector collimation and scan duration of 60 s. The scanning parameters for CTA were 100 kV, 266 mAs.

Renal Vessel Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Renal vessel imaging in the Renal group was performed using contrast-enhanced spiral CT (Brilliance 256; Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland, OH). All patients underwent craniocaudal scanning in the supine position while holding a single-held breath. A non-ionic contrast agent (Ultrafine, Bayer Schering Pharma AG, German) was injected into the antecubital vein using a dual-cylinder high-pressure syringe at 1.2 ml/kg, 4 ml/s. The venous phase acquisition was set to 80 s after intravenous injection, followed by a flush of 40 mL saline. The scanning range extended from the diaphragmatic roof to the superior border of the pubic symphysis. Scanning parameters were 250 mA at 120 kV, 0.5 mm reconstruction interval, and 0.625 mm increment.

Orbital CT Imaging for Proptosis Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All patients were scanned with a 256-slice MDCT scanner (Brilliance 256; Philips Medical Systems, OH, USA), as previously described19 (link). Orbital CT scans were obtained using contiguous axial slices, with the patient’s head positioned parallel to the Frankfurt plane. Patients were asked to look at a fixed point, and the scanning parameters were as follows: 120 kV, 150 mAs, 64 × 0.625 mm detector configuration, 1 mm slice thickness, and 1 mm slice increment. Measurement of proptosis was performed on the CT image by drawing a horizontal line between the lateral orbital rims on an axial plane that bisects the lens and then drawing a perpendicular line forward to the posterior surface of the cornea18 (link). The posterior surface of the cornea was chosen because it can be difficult to define the anterior surface of the cornea on CT.

CT Imaging Protocol for Initial Diagnosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The patient underwent a GE Lightspeed 64/Philips Brilliance 256 spiral CT scan at the time of initial diagnosis with the following parameters—tube voltage 80–100 kV, tube current 150–200 mA s, acquisition slice thickness 5.0 mm, pitch 1.1 mm, collimation 0.6 mm, and reconstruction slice thickness 1.25 mm. CT scanning was performed with iodixanol, iodine concentration of 320 mg/l, dose of 1.5–2.0 ml/kg and flow rate of 0.5–3.5 ml/s. Arterial and venous phase scans were performed 20–28 s and 55–66 s after contrast injection, respectively.

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.
