CT Contrast Injections: Extravasation and Saline Considerations

This webinar is generously sponsored by Bayer.

Session Description: Join us for a comprehensive presentation on ways to address and implement workflow steps to help provide image quality and a better customer experience with the use of saline during contrast-enhanced CT imaging, including reducing likelihood of extravasation during contrast delivery by automated injection, value of saline flush after contrast delivery on image quality, and identification of contrast-enhanced CT scans that generate optimal scans by delivering a mix of contrast, contrast and saline, and saline chaser. This approach aims to equip radiological technologists, CT supervisors and radiologists with tools to help optimize operational efficiency, image quality and patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Strengthen awareness of contrast extravasation: understand causes, incidence, impact, ways to evaluate and treat, and ways to mitigate contrast extravasation during CT imaging.
2. Understand the importance of post-contrast injection flush with regard to image quality and contrast use.
3. Provide awareness of image scans that have been shown to benefit from contrast and saline mixture.
