I am not understanding the formula that you have posted on the " contrast and amount used in body CT for pediatric patients"  

could you please explain this:




12ml (.04ml) of Omnipaque added to a 10 oz bottle of Apple Juice, kept in the Ped' s radiology area. When mixed with juice it has a very good taste and patients will drink without a problem. To mix with any liquid, mix .04ml of Omnipaque Contrast X the amount of liquid you are preparing. I.E. 500 ml Sterile Water for Irrigation, you would use .04 ml X 500 ml = 20 ml of Omnipaque Contrast.


is 20ml of contrast the amount you would add to the 500ml of water ????
