【 摘 要 】

no significant difference was seen in the portal vein in all protocols. The MEVs recorded from the liver parenchyma in protocols 1 and 2 were significantly higher than those obtained in protocol 3. In this study, the application of saline chaser with a reduced dose of contrast material did not affect vessel enhancement. In conclusion, the use of a saline chaser for abdominal CT is recommended because it allows 30% reduction in the dose of contrast material without a significant decrease in the vascular and hepatic parenchymal enhancement.
