CT is us- Multidetector CT Protocols

Multidetector CT:
Kidney:

Follow-up of known renal cancer

Specific Anatomic Region Kidney

Application Follow-up of known renal cancer

Author Fishman EK

Reference Source Personal Communication

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 165 / .5

Detector Collimation (mm) 2.5

Slice Thickness (mm) 5

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) 3-5

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 12.5 / 5

Oral Contrast 750 cc of water

IV Contrast Volume and Type 120 cc of Omnipaque 350

Injection Rate 2-3 cc/sec

Scan Delay (sec) 30 sec

3D Technique Used N/A

Comment: -This requires either 1 or 2 phases of acquisition, depending on the clinical situation. Arterial phase imaging is key for evaluating the liver for vascular renal metastases.
