Does Reduction in Contrast Administration Dose in Computed Tomography Arteriograms Degrade Image Quality? A Single Institutional Review of an Ultra-low Contrast Dose Protocol
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low Dose Contrast (Omnipaque) 40mL and Low Dose Contrast (Omnipaque) 50 mL for Aortic Aneurysm and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if the dose of contrast (Omnipaque) administered for Computed Tomography Arteriograms (CTA) can be reduced without degradation of image quality. The hypothesis is that there is no difference in image quality using ultra-low dose contrast in CTA exams compared to routine, standard of care dose exams.

Timeline
Interventions
The patient will be administered a low dose, 40mL of intravenous contrast (Omnipaque) at a rate of 5mL/sec based on the area of the body being scanned (chest versus chest and abdomen versus chest, abdomen and pelvis). This will be compared to the patient's prior examination performed with 100mL of intravenous contrast at a rate of 4mL/sec.
