Feasibility of CT scan studies with triple split bolus intravenous contrast medium technique and reduced radiation dose for potential kidney donors

Feasibility of CT scan studies with triple split bolus intravenous contrast medium technique and reduced radiation dose for potential kidney donors

Objective: To show that it is possible to reduce the radiation dose in the examination of potential kidney donors by splitting the contrast injection followed by a single scanning, enabling evaluation of vascular structures, renal parenchyma and collecting system/ureters, using computed tomography p...
