| pubmed-article:19291601 | pubmed:abstractText | Due to the technical advance of multislice cardiac CT and the recently introduced dual source CT, the acquisition times for cardiac CT exams are < 10 sec. At the same time the assessment of left ventricular function is possible. However, in many patients a complete right ventricular outwash is noted, leading to insufficient septal delineation. Studies were able to demonstrate that contrast media (CM) mixed in the saline chaser bolus is sufficient for significantly better visualization of septal structures. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this dual flow concept works as well for 64-slice and dual source CT angiography using only 20 % CM in the saline chaser bolus. | lld:pubmed |
