Contrast Agent Parameters
| Contrast Agents | Dose | Injection Rate | Dose Timing Method and Scan Delay | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY) | 0.075 mmol/kg up to a calculated volume of 10 mL OK to cap at 20 mL max volume Dilute to 30 mL |
See specific instructions below for Calf and Thigh stations | For Abdomen Station: Fluoro trigger to peak arterial opacification at level of bifurcation 2 mL/sec | |||||
| Saline Flush | 60 mL | See below | 2 mL/sec immediately following gadolinium | |||||
| Dynamic Notes | TRICKS timing: 1. Start scan 2. Mask runs as clock counts down 3. Inject at 0:00 4. Clock will reset 5. Scan will continue to acquire multiple phases |
Calf TRICKS contrast: 1.5 mL/sec = 8-10 mL Thigh TRICKS contrast: 1.5 mL/sec = 10-12 mL Flush: 1.5 mL/sec = 20 mL Flush: 1.5 mL/sec = 20 mL |
Foot-mid Calf: I200-S82, 30 x 22 Calf-low Thigh: S76-S380, 30 x 22 Thigh: S372-S654, 36 x 36 Pelvis-Abdomen: S642-S948, 36 x 36 Abdomen-Diaphragm: S918-> PRN |
