CT protocol

04/01/2000 - "Our low-dose CT protocol is superior to IVU and clinically adequate for diagnosis of renal colic."
07/01/2015 - "The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate size-specific dose estimates of a renal-colic CT protocol and to assess the quality and diagnostic value of obtained images. "
04/01/2007 - "The purpose of our study was to compare a low-dose abdominal CT protocol, delivering a dose of radiation close to the dose delivered by abdominal radiography, with standard-dose unenhanced CT in patients with suspected renal colic. "
07/01/2015 - "Size-Specific Dose Estimates for Evaluation of Individual Patient Dose in CT Protocol for Renal Colic."
03/01/2014 - "The diagnostic performance of our low-dose CT protocol for renal colic was excellent for all patients, and image quality and diagnostic confidence were significantly better for patients with a BMI≥25. "

03/01/2004 - "Extremity CT angiography and abdominal staging CT can be combined in a single dynamic multidetector CT protocol in patients with musculoskeletal tumors, resulting in a reduction of costs, acquisition time, and contrast dose as well as an improvement in patient management. "
03/01/2004 - "To introduce a comprehensive computed tomography (CT) protocol for the evaluation of patients with musculoskeletal tumors by combining extremity CT angiography and abdomen CT in a dynamic multidetector CT study. "
01/01/2016 - "An Enhanced-CT protocol resulted in short-term improvements in self-efficacy for managing patients' cancer symptoms and caregiver stress and preparedness for caregiving but not in caregivers' psychological well-being. "
01/01/2016 - "We examined the effects of an enhanced informal caregiver training (Enhanced-CT) protocol in cancer symptom and caregiver stress management to caregivers of hospitalized cancer patients. "
01/01/2014 - "The costs of imaging tests, excess surgeries, and excess surgical deaths for the ultrasound-CT protocol and the costs of imaging tests and excess cancer deaths in the CT-only protocol were estimated. "

08/01/2010 - "Thirty-six patients (62 +/- 8 years old, 20 men) with previous positive results with SPECT (<2 months) as the primary inclusion criterion and suspected coronary artery disease underwent a customized multidetector-row CT protocol with myocardial perfusion evaluation at rest and during stress and coronary CT angiography (CTA). "
01/01/2012 - "Forty-eight patients with intermediate-to-high probability for coronary artery disease after single-photon emitting CT myocardial perfusion imaging were prospectively enrolled for a research comprehensive 64-detector row dual-source cardiac CT protocol that included cine images for RWMA, first-pass images for RPD, and delayed images for DCE. "
03/01/2011 - "We randomized the emergency department patients clinically scheduled to undergo a dedicated CT protocol to assess coronary artery disease, pulmonary embolism, or aortic dissection to either the planned dedicated CT protocol or a comprehensive cardiothoracic CT protocol. "

03/01/2015 - "For patients with HCM and suspected coexistent CAD, this comprehensive cardiac CT protocol can be helpful in ruling out coronary stenosis and can provide information regarding morphology, function and tissue characterization of the LV myocardium."

01/01/2007 - "Delayed phase FDG-PET/CT protocol improved lesion detectability in primary and metastatic liver disease, revealing new lesions in 17% of the patients. "
