Arteriography, cerebral -
Intra-arterial, as a solution containing the equivalent of 300 mg of iodine per mL, into the following vessels: Carotid arteries, 3 to 12 mL.
Vertebral arteries, 4 to 12 mL.
Aortic arch, 20 to 50 mL for simultaneous four-vessel study.
Arteriography, coronary or
Ventriculography, left -
Intra-arterial, as a solution containing the equivalent of 370 mg of iodine per mL, into the following vessels: Left coronary, range, 3 to 14 mL.
Right coronary, range, 3 to 14 mL.
Left ventricle, range, 30 to 60 mL.
Aortography or
Angiography, visceral-
Intra-arterial, as a solution containing the equivalent of 370 mg of iodine per mL, into the aorta and major visceral arterial branches. The volume and rate used should be proportional to the blood flow through the vessels of interest, and related to the vascular and pathological characteristics of the specific vessels being studied.
Arteriography, peripheral -
Intra-arterial, as a solution containing the equivalent of 300 mg of iodine per mL, into the following vessels: Subclavian or femoral artery, range, 5 to 40 mL.
Aortic bifurcation for distal runoff, range, 25 to 50 mL.
Angiography, intra-arterial, by digital subtraction -
Intra-arterial, as a solution containing the equivalent of 150 mg of iodine per mL, injected at a rate approximately equal to the flow rate of the blood vessel, into the following vessels: Carotid arteries, 6 to 10 mL.
Vertebral arteries, 4 to 8 mL.
Aorta, 20 to 50 mL.
Major branches of the abdominal aorta, 2 to 20 mL.
Urography, excretory-
Intravenous, a volume of the solution containing the equivalent of 300 mg of iodine per mL, which gives a dose of approximately 300 mg of iodine per kg of body weight.
Venography, peripheral-
Intravenous, the minimum volume, of a solution containing the equivalent of 240 mg of iodine per mL, necessary to visualize satisfactorily the peripheral veins under examination.
Computed tomography (CT) of the brain-
Intravenous, 50 to 200 mL of a solution containing the equivalent of 300 mg of iodine per mL.
CT of the body-
Intravenous, 50 to 200 mL by bolus injection, or 100 to 200 mL by infusion of a solution containing the equivalent of 300 mg of iodine per mL. |
