CT with IV contrast

671 bytes added, 14:24, 17 October 2018
In some emergent conditions such as [[CT of aortic aneurysm]] with suspected rupture, the need for contrast is greater than the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
For the rest of the investigations, evidence suggests that contrast doses should be limited to a ratio of grams of iodine to glomerular filtration rate (I<sub>gram</sub> / GFR<sub>ml/min</sub>) of a maximum of 1g/(ml/min).<ref name="KeaneyHannon2013">{{cite journal|last1=Keaney|first1=J.
