Contrast-Enhanced Cone Beam Breast CT for Diagnostic Breast Imaging

"* Pre-contrast scan~* Begin contrast injection (and saline chaser)~* Post-contrast Scan. Start time of post-contrast CE-CBBCT scan is 90-200 seconds after start of injection, depending on method of contrast delivery (bolus vs hand injection)"

"1.5-2ml/kg body weight (100 ml maximum) of a low osmolar, nonionic, 300-350 mgI/ml iodinated contrast agent, will be injected at a rate of \~2.0 ml/s, for a total injection time of 30-60 seconds (for a 50 kg subject). This will be immediately followed by a saline chaser from 20 to 40 ml at \~2 ml/s (20 seconds) to maximize dynamic enhancement."
