Methods
CNR
Ethical approval and consent were obtained. In this parallel RCT, CTA examinations were randomized into experimental or control. Patients received 0.7 vs 1.4 mL/kg of iohexol 350 mgI/mL in the experimental- vs the control group. Two experimental virtual monoenergetic image (VMI) series at 40 and 50 kiloelectron volts (keV) were reconstructed. Primary outcome: VA. Secondary outcomes: image noise (noise), contrast- and signal-to-noise ratio (CNR and SNR), and subjective examination quality (SEQ).
