Abstract:
In the CT scanner, the iodine containing contrast media are usually used by rapid intravenous with speed of 2-3ml/second. The usual dosage was 1-2ml solution with concentration of 60-70% /kg of bodyweight. The contrast media in the magnetic resonance image is Gd-DPTA (Magnevist). The usual dosage is 0.1-0.3mmol/kg by intravenous, the dosage may be higher than this in some cases.
