CT is us- Multidetector CT Protocols

Multidetector CT:
Liver:

Liver transplant evaluation (donor)

Specific Anatomic Region Liver

Application Liver transplant evaluation (donor)

Author Fishman EK

Reference Source Personal Communication

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 150 / .5

Detector Collimation (mm) 1

Slice Thickness (mm) 1.25

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) 1 mm and 1 and 5 mm (venous phase only)

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 6 / 6

Oral Contrast 750 cc of water

IV Contrast Volume and Type 120-150 cc of Omnipaque 350

Injection Rate 3 cc / sec

Scan Delay (sec) 25 / 50-60 sec

3D Technique Used Volume rendering

Comment: -This protocol is for the patient who is a liver donor. We obtain a set of venous phase images at 5 mm intervals to do volumetrics. Typically in adult to adult transplants, we do right lobe volume, and in adult to child transplants, we do lateral left lobe volumes.
