Contrast medium administration with a body surface area protocol in step-and-shoot coronary computed tomography angiography with dual-source scanners
Abstract We evaluated the feasibility and image quality of prospective electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using a body surface area (BSA) protocol for contrast-medium (CM) administration on both second- and third-generation scanners (Flash and Force C...

One-hundred-and-eighty patients with suspected coronary heart disease undergoing CCTA were divided into groups A (BSA protocol for CM on Flash CT), B (body mass index (BMI)-matched patients; BMI protocol for CM on Flash CT), and C (BMI-matched patients; BSA protocol for CM on Force CT).

Average BSA in groups A, B, and C was 1.80 ± 0.17 m2, 1.74 ± 0.16 m2, and 1.64 ± 0.17 m2, respectively, with groups A and C differing significantly (P < 0.001).
