| Image Order | cr-ca | ||
| Oral Contrast | 100 cc of water | ||
| IV Contrast Volume and Type | 100-120 cc Omnipaque 350 | ||
| Injection Rate | 3 cc/ sec | ||
| Scan Delay (sec) | 60 sec and 4 minutes | ||
| 3D Technique Used | Endoluminal visualization and MPR | ||
| Comment: - Recon- Lung/ liver at 5x5 mm for filming. We can do 3D of the bladder for better detail. In that case, contrast is put directly into the bladder. See the CT cystoscopy protocol. | |||
