AI Article Synopsis
- - Patient-centric care in radiology focuses on improving diagnostic results while ensuring patient safety by carefully managing iodinated contrast use in CT scans.
- - The approach aims to reduce the amount of iodine a patient receives and limit their exposure to ionizing radiation, which can be harmful.
- - Key factors for this patient-centric model include adjusting CT hardware settings and the way contrast media is administered to maintain high-quality imaging without compromising patient health.
Article Abstract
Patient-centric care has garnered the attention of the radiology community. The authors describe a patient-centric approach to iodinated contrast administration designed to optimize the diagnostic yield of contrast-enhanced CT while minimizing patient iodine load and exposure to ionizing radiation, thereby enhancing patient safety while providing reasonable diagnostic efficacy. Patient-centric CT hardware settings and contrast media administration are important considerations for clinical CT quality and safety.
