Detailed Course Content

EQUIPMENT AND CONTRAST MEDIA IN CT
CT principles: gantry, detectors, generator. Spiral CT and multidetector spiral CT. CT parameters, Dose in CT - Dose reduction systems - Smart mA auto mA - Iterative reconstruction: Asir, Asir V. Reconstructions and reformattings with MIP, MPR, rendering volume, Minip, virtual endoscopy techniques and retroreconstruction. Contrast media: radiolucent and radiopaque, barite and iodate, ionic and non-ionic, concentration, flow, amount of contrast administered. Hyposmolar and isosmolar contrast media. Adverse reactions and contraindications.
