Relationship Between Contrast Media Volume and Tube Voltage in CT for Optimal Liver Enhancement, Based on Body Weight.

The radiation dose is is different between groups

Contrast media volume is different between groups

One unenhanced slice at the level of the portal vein will be added to the protocol before administration of contrast media. It will only take a minute to perform this extra slice. The patient does not have to visit the department a second time and no (extra) contrast is needed for this slice.

A weighing scale is used to measure a patients body weight right before the scan.
