  • 摘要:To obtain the highest diagnostic information with least side effects when performing thoracic CT angiography (CTA) is challenging in young children. The current study aims to compare three contrast agent (CA) injection protocols regarding image quality and CA characteristic: a standard CTA, a fixed-bolus delay protocol, and the "microbolus technique (MBT)" developed in our institution. Seventy chest CTA scans of patients (400 HU) enhancement was registered in all major thoracic vessels in group I without significant differences regarding SNR and CNR in most regions (p < 0.05). The best scores for image quality and artifacts were reached in group I. All three chest CTA contrast injection protocols offered diagnostic vessel enhancement in young patients. MBT was associated with reduced image artifacts and less injected CA.
